what is linrar fr?

LinRAR is a free, open source archive manager built for Linux, designed to feel familiar to anyone who has used a file compression tool before on any operating system. It aims to be as simple as possible to get running: there is no package manager step, no dependencies to install separately, and no need to touch a terminal. You just unzip the downloaded folder and open the app directly. Once open, the program lets you browse the contents of an archive the same way you would browse folders, moving in and out of directories inside it. You can create brand new archives or add more files to ones that already exist, extract an entire archive at once or just pick specific files to pull out, and check that an archive is not corrupted before you trust its contents. It also lets you look at a file inside an archive without fully extracting it first, search for files by name across the whole archive, and attempt to recover whatever is still usable from a damaged archive. A details view shows information like an archive's total size, its format, and how many files and folders it contains. For formats it supports, LinRAR can open and create ZIP and the various TAR based formats such as TAR.GZ, TAR.BZ2, and TAR.XZ. It can also open RAR and 7Z archives, though it cannot create new files in those two formats, since both are proprietary formats without an openly published specification for writing them, a limitation shared by most open source archive tools. The project also offers an optional one click helper to add itself to the applications menu, so it does not have to be launched by opening its folder every time. It is released under the MIT license.
