DESCRIPTION
7za is the standalone version of the 7-Zip command-line tool. Unlike 7z which may use external plugins, 7za includes all codecs in a single executable.7za supports fewer formats than the full 7z but is more portable as a single binary. It handles 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, TAR, and CAB formats.The command syntax is identical to 7z. For scripts that only need common formats, 7za is often preferred for its simplicity and reliability.

CAVEATS
7za supports fewer formats than 7z. For RAR, CAB, or ISO extraction, use the full 7z command.The "a" in 7za stands for "alone" (standalone), not "alpha" or "advanced".Performance is identical to 7z for supported formats.
