  Description     : free utility to list and extract RAR archives

unrar is a simple command line utility to list and extract RAR archives.


Notes:
This package is intended to eventually replace unrar in non-free. How exact
replacement it should be to do that?

This program uses unrarlib (http://www.unrarlib.org/), which is based on the
non-free unrar from RARlabs but has been released under GPL with
permission from RARlabs. I also try to improve the program a bit and fix
some bugs I found before I release the package.
