• Supports multiple archive formats such as Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, 7-Zip, Rar, LhA, StuffIt, several old Amiga file and disk archives, CAB, LZX. Read the wiki page for a more thorough listing of formats.
• Supports split archives for certain formats, like RAR.
• Uses libxad for older and more obscure formats. This is an old Amiga library for handling unpacking of archives.
• Depends on UniversalDetector Library. Uses character set autodetection code from Mozilla to auto-detect the encoding of the filenames in the archives.
• The unarchiving engine itself is multi-platform, and command-line tools exist for Linux, Windows and other OSes.
• Originally developed by Dag Ågren

XADMaster relies on directories structure. To start development you'll need to clone the main project with Universal Detector library:

git clone https://github.com/MacPaw/XADMaster.git
git clone https://github.com/MacPaw/universal-detector.git 

The resulting directory structure should look like:

<development-directory>
  /XADMaster
  /universal-detector

Compiling this under Ubuntu requires the gobjc++ package, to supply cc1obj; as well as gnustep-core-devel, libarchive-dev, and libbz2-dev, libwavpack-dev, icu-devtools, libicu-dev

• The Unarchiver application.
