# packrat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packrat is a centralization of programs' various command syntaxes for compressing and decompressing archives.
|
||
|
|
It's written in POSIX shell script (tested with dash) and the UI is very opinionated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`prat {c,d,cf,df} [type]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### {c,d,cf,df}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- c - compress
|
||
|
|
- d - decompress
|
||
|
|
- cf - compress folder
|
||
|
|
- df - decompress folder
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packrat takes input from standard input and spews output to standard output, except for folder operations,
|
||
|
|
where it instead compresses all files in the current directory to standard output and always decompresses all files from standard input to the current directory.
|
||
|
|
There is no way to change this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
