# Features
|
|
|
|
1. Easy to use.
|
|
2. Automatic format detection.
|
|
3. Same syntax, various formats.
|
|
4. Encoding and decoding streams, it's fast.
|
|
5. No runtime dependencies (for _Linux x86_64_).
|

6. Listing archive contents with tree formatting (in next release!).
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
## Decompressing
|
|
|
|
Use the `decompress` subcommand and pass the files.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Decompress one
|
|
ouch decompress a.zip
|
|
|
|
# Decompress multiple
|
|
ouch decompress a.zip b.tar.gz c.tar
|
|
|
|
# Short alternative
|
|
ouch d a.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `-d/--dir` flag can be used to redirect decompression results to another directory.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Decompress 'summer_vacation.zip' inside of new folder 'pictures'
|
|
ouch decompress summer_vacation.zip --dir pictures
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compressing
|
|
|
|
Use the `compress` subcommand, pass the files and the **output file** at the end.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Compress four files/folders
|
|
ouch compress 1 2 3 4 archive.zip
|
|
|
|
# Short alternative
|
|
ouch c file.txt file.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`ouch` detects the extensions of the **output file** to decide what formats to use.
|
|
|
|
# Installation

|
|
|
|
| Method | Command |
|
|
|:---------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| **curl** | `curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ouch-org/ouch/master/install.sh \| sh` |
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Installing from source code
|
|
|
|
Check the [wiki guide](https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch/wiki/Compiling-and-installing-from-source-code).
|
|
|
|
# Supported formats
|
|
|
|
| Format | `.tar` | `.zip` | `.bz`, `.bz2` | `.gz` | `.lz4` | `.xz`, `.lz`, `.lzma` | `.zst` |
|
|
|:---------:|:------:|:------:|:-------------:|:-----:|:------:|:---------------------:|:------:|
|
|
| Supported | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
|
|
|
|
And the aliases: `tgz`, `tbz`, `tbz2`, `tlz4`, `txz`, `tlz`, `tlzma`, `tzst`.
|
|
|
|
Formats can be chained (`ouch` keeps it _fast_):
|
|
|
|
- `.gz.xz.bz.zst`
|
|
- `.tar.gz.xz.bz.zst`
|
|
- `.tar.gz.gz.gz.gz.xz.xz.xz.xz.bz.bz.bz.bz.zst.zst.zst.zst`
|
|
|
|
# Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Comparison made decompressing `linux.tar.gz` and measured with
|
|
[Hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) and the values presented are the average (wall clock) elapsed time.
|
|
|
|
| Tool | `ouch` | [`tar`] | [`bsdtar`] |
|
|
|:------------:|:------:|:-------:|:----------:|
|
|
| Average time | 911 ms | 1102 ms | 829 ms |
|
|
|
|
Note: `ouch` focuses heavily on usage ergonomics and nice error messages, but
|
|
we plan on doing some optimization in the future.
