What we’ve discussed in this tutorial are only basic features. It’s available for both Windows and Linux, although only a command line port is available for the latter platform, so a good option for those Linux users whose work involves playing with files on the command line.
Conclusionħ zip tool happens to be one of the best tools for archiving files. To check whether the archive is corrupted or not, you can use the ‘t’ function letter.Ībove output shows that the contents of the archive are not corrupted. Sometimes, due to a hardware problem, RAM problem, or heating problem, your files may get affected and the archive isn’t created properly.
Testing integrity is very important, as it tells, whether the contents are properly archived or not. Using the tool, you can also check the integrity of an already existing archive file. So, instead of individually adding the modified files again (using the ‘a’ function letter) to the archive, we can perform the operation in a single run by using the following command. And now, due to some modifications in, let’s say, file1, file2 and file3, we want to update the archive. Let’s say we have already created an archive of the ‘dir1’ directory. $ 7z u įor example, here is the directory structure in which we will perform some update operations. This is made possible using the ‘u’ function letter. If you want, you can add new files to a previously created archived file, or you can even update the contents of existing files in the archive. Here’s how that can be done: $ 7z e testfiles.7z This feature can be accessed using the ‘e’ function letter.įor example, suppose we want to extract the ‘testfiles.7z’ archive. With the help of 7zip, you can extract files from an already existing archive. $ 7z d įor example, to delete testfile1, we can use the following command: $ 7z d testfiles.7z testfile1 Using the tool, you can also delete a file from an archive file, something which you can do using the ‘d’ function letter. Here is the list of files in testfiles.7z archived file. You can use the ‘l’ function letter for listing the contents of an archived file.
Of course, you can also create/update, say, a. 7z archive file (testfiles.7z) has been created. Now to check, whether the archive file is created or not, you can use the ‘ ls‘ command.Īs you can see in the screenshot above that a. This feature can be accessed using the ‘a’ function letter. Using the tool, you can package the files in a. We will be using the files displayed in the following screenshot for performing various operations using 7zip.Ĭreate new archive/ add files to existing archive In this section, we will discuss the usage of the 7zip tool and the basic features it provides. $ sudo apt-get install p7zip-rar Usage/Functions NOTE:In case, you want to use 7zip with rar files, then you’ll have to install the following package as well.
