.SH EXAMPLES
To use \fIunrar\fP to extract all members of the archive \fIletters.rar\fP
into the current directory and subdirectories below it, creating any
subdirectories as necessary:
.PP
.EX
unrar x letters
.EE
.PP
To extract all members of \fIletters.rar\fP into the current directory only:
.PP
.EX
unrar e letters
.EE
.PP
To test \fIletters.rar\fP:
.PP
.EX
unrar t letters
.EE
.PP
To extract to standard output all members of \fIletters.rar\fP whose names end
in \fI.tex\fP piping the output into \fImore\fP(1):
.PP
.EX
unrar p \-inul letters '*.tex' | more
.EE
.PP
To extract the binary file \fIpaper1.dvi\fP from archive \fIarticles.rar\fP to
standard output and pipe it to a printing program:
.PP
.EX
unrar \-p \-inul articles paper1.dvi | dvips
.EE
.PP
To extract all FORTRAN and C source files--*.f, *.c, *.h, and Makefile--into
the /tmp directory:
.PP
.EX
unrar source.rar "*.[fch]" Makefile /tmp
.EE
.PP
To extract any such files but convert any uppercase MS-DOS or VMS names to
lowercase:
.PP
.EX
unrar \-cl source.rar "*.[fch]" Makefile /tmp
.EE
.PP
To extract newer versions of the files already in the current directory and
to create any files not already there:
.PP
.EX
unrar x -u -o+ sources.rar
.EE
.PP

.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
.TP
.B RAR
Unrar reads the switches from \fBRAR\fP, unless the commandline option
\fI\-cfg\-\fP is given. Theese two examples do the same thing:
.PP
.EX
unrar x -u -o+ sources.rar
RAR='-u -o+' unrar x sources.rar
.EE
.PP
.\" =========================================================================
.SH FILES
.TP
.B .rarrc
Unrar reads the switches from .rarrc unless commandline option \fI\-cfg\-\fP is
given. Unrar goes sequentially through theese directories and reads first (and
only first) .rarrc found.
.EX
\fB$HOME/.rarrc\fR (if $HOME is defined)
\fB/etc/.rarrc\fR
\fB/etc/rar/.rarrc\fR
\fB/usr/lib/.rarrc\fR
\fB/usr/local/lib/.rarrc\fR
\fB/usr/local/etc/.rarrc\fR
.EE
.PP
rarrc should consist of lines in the form \fBswitches=<switches>\fR. For example:
.EX
switches=-y
.EE
.PP
