ARK(1) Ark User's Manual ARK(1) NAME ark - KDE archiving tool SYNOPSIS ark [-b] [-a] [-e] [-O] [-c] [-f suffix] [-p] [-t file] [-d] [-m] [-o di- rectory] [KDE Frameworks Generic Options] [Qt(TM) Generic Options] DESCRIPTION Ark is a program for managing various compressed file formats within KDE. Archives can be viewed, extracted, created and modified with Ark. The pro- gram can handle various formats such as tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, rar (when the appropriate libraries or command-line programs are installed). OPERATION MODES Ark can be used either as a stand-alone GUI program as well as a com- mand-line program in order to perform some specific tasks. If invoked without the -b (--batch) or -c (--add) options, Ark is started as a normal GUI program. When the -b (--batch) option is used, Ark can be used to extract the con- tents of one or more files directly from the command-line, without launch- ing its GUI. When the -c (--add) option is used, Ark prompts for files that should be added to a new archive or to an existing archive. OPTIONS -d, --dialog Show a dialog for specifying the options for a batch or add operation. -m, --mimetypes List supported MIME types. -o, --destination directory Default the extraction directory to directory. If not passed, the cur- rent path is used. Options for adding files -c, --add Query the user for an archive filename and add specified files to it. Quit when finished. -t, --add-to filename Add the specified files to filename. Create archive if it does not ex- ist. Quit when finished. -p, --changetofirstpath Change the current directory to the first entry and add all other en- tries relative to this one. -f, --autofilename suffix Automatically choose a filename, with the selected suffix (for example rar, tar.gz, zip or any other supported types). Options for batch extraction -b, --batch Use the batch interface instead of the usual dialog. This option is im- plied if more than one url is specified. -e, --autodestination The destination argument will be set to the path of the first file sup- plied. -a, --autosubfolder Archive contents will be read, and if detected to not be a single folder archive, a subfolder by the name of the archive will be created. -O, --opendestination Open the destination folder when the extraction is complete.
