How to use the command 'unp' (with examples)

The ‘unp’ command is a versatile tool that allows users to extract various types of archives. It requires relevant extractors to be installed, such as ‘unrar’ for RAR archives. It can be used to extract a single archive or multiple archives at once.

Use case 1: Extract an archive

Code:

unp path/to/archive.zip

Motivation: Extracting an archive is a common task when dealing with compressed files. This use case allows users to easily extract a single archive file.

Explanation: The command ‘unp’ is followed by the path to the archive file, in this case, ‘path/to/archive.zip’.

Example output:

Extracting archive: path/to/archive.zip
Archive successfully extracted to: path/to/archive

Use case 2: Extract multiple archives

Code:

unp path/to/archive1.tar.gz path/to/archive2.rar

Motivation: Sometimes, there is a need to extract multiple archives simultaneously. This use case provides a way to extract multiple archive files in a single command.

Explanation: The command ‘unp’ is followed by the paths to multiple archive files, separated by spaces. In the given example, ‘path/to/archive1.tar.gz’ and ‘path/to/archive2.rar’ are the paths to two different archive files.

Example output:

Extracting archive: path/to/archive1.tar.gz
Archive successfully extracted to: path/to/archive1

Extracting archive: path/to/archive2.rar
Extractors for this archive type are not installed.

Conclusion:

The ‘unp’ command is a useful tool for extracting various types of archives. With the ability to extract both single and multiple archives, it provides flexibility and convenience for managing compressed files.
