Unrar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 64.112.177.250 (talk) at 03:10, 9 June 2019 (Fixed capitalization of UnRAR, and removed the incorrect statement that UnRAR by RARLab is free software—it is free of cost, but the license makes it nonfree by the definitions of free software by the GNU Project, the Debian Project, and Wikipedia. See the added Fedora Project Wiki reference for more details.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

UnRAR is the name of two different command-line applications for extracting RAR file archives.

RARLAB UnRAR

This source-available freeware[1] is a Windows command-line version of UnRAR, created by RARlab, the same company that created the commercial WinRAR software.[2] This software can extract newer RAR v5.0 file archives that are not supported by competitors.

GNA UnRAR

This free software is a Linux version of UnRAR that is based on an old version of RARLAB's UnRAR with permission from author Eugene Roshal.[3] It is licensed under the GPL. It does not support the RAR3 format.[3]
