These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
-x--extract
Extract files from archive (default).
-t--list
List files in archive.
-f--force
Overwrite files when extracting.
--extract-newer
Only extract newer files from the archive.
--extract-no-paths
Don't create directories while extracting.
-p--password
Decrypt archive using a password.
-? --help
Show program help.
--usage Show short program usage message.
-V--version
Show version of program.
NON-FREE UNRAR COMPATIBLE SYNOPSIS
unrar-free [elvx] [-ep] [-o+] [-o-] [-ppassword] [-u] [--] ARCHIVE [FILE ...] [DESTINATION]
This syntax should only be used in front-end programs which are using non-free unrar as a back-end. It is recommended to use this program
by GNU command line syntax.
e Extract files from archive without full path.
l List files in archive.
v Verbose list files in archive.
x Extract files from archive with full path.
-ep Don't create directories while extracting.
-o+ Overwrite files when extracting.
-o- Don't overwrite files when extracting.
-p Decrypt archive using a password.
-u Only extract newer files from the archive.
-- Disable further switch processing. Any switch after the -- are treated as filenames and destination.
BUGS
Advanced features of version 3.0 archives are not currently supported.

bup-meta - create or extract a metadata archive
SYNOPSIS
bup meta --create
[-R] [-v] [-q] [--no-symlinks] [--no-paths] [-f file] <paths...>
bup meta --list
[-v] [-q] [-f file]
bup meta --extract
[-v] [-q] [--numeric-ids] [--no-symlinks] [-f file]
bup meta --start-extract
[-v] [-q] [--numeric-ids] [--no-symlinks] [-f file]
bup meta --finish-extract
[-v] [-q] [--numeric-ids] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
bup meta either creates or extracts a metadata archive. A metadata archive contains the metadata information (timestamps, ownership,
access permissions, etc.)
for a set of filesystem paths.
OPTIONS -c, --create
Create a metadata archive for the specified paths. Write the archive to standard output unless --file is specified.
-t, --list
Display information about the metadata in an archive. Read the archive from standard output unless --file is specified.
-x, --extract
Extract a metadata archive. Conceptually, perform --start-extract followed by --finish-extract. Read the archive from standard
input unless --file is specified.
--start-extract
Build a filesystem tree matching the paths stored in a metadata archive. By itself, this command does not produce a full restora-
tion of the metadata. For a full restoration, this command must be followed by a call to --finish-extract. Once this command has
finished, all of the normal files described by the metadata will exist and be empty. Restoring the data in those files, and then
calling --finish-extract should restore the original tree. The archive will be read from standard input unless --file is specified.
--finish-extract
Finish applying the metadata stored in an archive to the filesystem. Normally, this command should follow a call to --start-
extract. The archive will be read from standard input unless --file is specified.
-f, --file=filename
Read the metadata archive from filename or write it to filename as appropriate. If filename is "-", then read from standard input
or write to standard output.
-R, --recurse
Recursively descend into subdirectories during --create.
--numeric-ids
Apply numeric user and group IDs (rather than text IDs) during --extract or --finish-extract.
--symlinks
Record symbolic link targets when creating an archive, or restore symbolic links when extracting an archive (during --extract or
--start-extract). This option is enabled by default. Specify --no-symlinks to disable it.
--paths
Record pathnames when creating an archive. This option is enabled by default. Specify --no-paths to disable it.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose (can be used more than once).
-q, --quiet
Be quiet.
EXAMPLES
# Create a metadata archive for /etc.
$ bup meta -cRf etc.meta /etc
bup: removing leading "/" from "/etc"
# Extract the etc.meta archive (files will be empty).
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ bup meta -xf ../etc.meta
$ ls
etc
# Restore /etc completely.
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ bup meta --start-extract -f ../etc.meta
...fill in all regular file contents using some other tool...
$ bup meta --finish-extract -f ../etc.meta
BUGS
Hard links are not handled yet.
