rar
The RAR archiver. Supports multi-volume archives that can be optionally self-extracting.
TLDR
Archive 1 or more files
$ rar a [path/to/archive_name.rar] [path/to/file1] [path/to/file2] [path/to/file3]
Archive a directory
$ rar a [path/to/archive_name.rar] [path/to/directory]
Split the archive into parts of equal size (50M)
$ rar a -v[50M] -R [path/to/archive_name.rar] [path/to/file_or_directory]
Password protect the resulting archive
$ rar a -p[password] [path/to/archive_name.rar] [path/to/file_or_directory]
Encrypt file data and headers with password
$ rar a -hp[password] [path/to/archive_name.rar] [path/to/file_or_directory]
Use a specific compression level (0-5)
$ rar a -m[compression_level] [path/to/archive_name.rar] [path/to/file_or_directory]
