#atool — Public Fediverse posts

@adi: #atool also contains adiff and als. I just always miss agrep. But for that we have #zutils which provides an alternative zgrep (and friends) implementation which understands all the common unix-ish compression formats, namely gzip, bzip2, xz, lzma, and lzip — just not zip which seems more popular in the Windows (and DOS ;-) world.

No need to extract zipped #Raspbian images to disk first on #Linux with #atool:

acat 2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-lite.zip 2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-lite.img | dd of=/dev/sdX status=progress

(Replace sdX accordingly.)

It's easy to remember and works on many archive formats, but you need to know the file name inside. Use e.g. "als".

Or just use

unzip -p 2020-02-13-raspbian-buster-lite.zip | dd of=/dev/sdX status=progress

"unzip -p" outputs all files inside if there are more.
