RAR compression

Post date: 18-Mar-2009 13:49:31

In order to compress a file, the command line is

[> rar a -m3 archive.rar file

The archive.rar is the one you'd like to create, the file is the uncompressed one and the -m option is the default compression code, -m0 is no compression and -m5 is a better compression.

If the file is very large and you'd like to split it, use the additional option

[> rar a -v10m archive.rar file

The -v10m create split the archive.rar in parts of size 10Mb each.

Enjoy!
