sdesc: "Manage many types of file archives"
ldesc: "atool is a script for managing file archives of various types
(tar, tar+gzip, zip, bzip2, rar, 7zip, ...).  atool is called under
several names:

* aunpack extracts files from an archive. It overcomes the dreaded
'multiple files in archive root' problem by first extracting to a
unique subdirectory, and then moving back the files if possible.
aunpack also prevents local files from being overwritten by mistake.

* apack creates archives.

* als lists files in archives.

* acat extracts files to standard out.

* adiff generates a diff between archives.

* arepack repacks an archive in a different format."
