# archives utilities

Tools for creating, parsing, and scripting archive files.


## Specification

*While you **technically** won't run into an error, these scripts **do**
expect `tar` to support Zstandard, which isn't necessarily POSIX standard.*

tarls           |List files within `tar` archive file(s)                       |

zipls           |List files within `zip` archive file(s)                       |`zipinfo`

*All* scripts support `-h` and `--help` for printing built-in documentation.

*All* scripts do nothing if no input arguments are given.


## To-Do

 + add support for `rar`, `7z` archives
