The Unarchiver is a proprietary freeware[2]data decompression utility, which supports more formats than Archive Utility[3] (formerly known as BOMArchiveHelper), the built-in archive unpacker program in macOS. It can also handle filenames in various character encodings, created using operating system versions that use those character encodings.[4] The latest version requires Mac OS X Lion or higher. The Unarchiver does not compress files.[5]
The corresponding command line utilities unar and lsar is free (libre) software licensed under the LGPL[6] run on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS.[7]
A main feature of the Unarchiver is its ability to handle many old, obscure formats like StuffIt as well as AmigaOS disk images in LZH, LZX, and so on. This is credited in its source code to the use of libxad, an Amiga file format library. Ågren also worked to reverse engineer the StuffIt and StuffIt X formats, and his code was one of the most complete open source implementations of these proprietary formats.

RPM originally stands for Red Hat Package Manager. Nnow, RPM is a package management system. The name RPM variously refers to the .rpm file format, files in this format, software packaged in such files, and the package manager itself. RPM was intended primarily for Linux distributions; the file format is the baseline package format of the Linux Standard Base. RPM is distributed under the terms of the GPL.
Even though it was created for use in Red Hat Linux, RPM is now used in many GNU/Linux distributions. It has also been ported to some other operating systems, such as Novell NetWare (as of version 6.5 SP3) and IBM's AIX (as of version 4).
An RPM package can contain an arbitrary set of files. The larger part of RPM files encountered are 'binary RPMs' (or BRPMs) containing the compiled version of some software. RPM files however may also contain the source code, then called 'source RPMs' (or SRPMs) used to produce a package. SRPMs have an appropriate tag in the file header that distinguishes them from normal (B)RPMs, causing them to be extracted to /usr/src on installation. SRPMs also customarily carry the file extension '.src.rpm' (.spm on file systems limited to 3 extension characters, i.e. old DOS FAT).
The format is binary and consists of four sections:
- The lead, which identifies the file as an RPM file and contains some obsolete headers.
- The signature, which can be used to ensure integrity and/or authenticity.
- The header, which contains metadata including package name, version, architecture, file list, etc.
- A file archive (the payload), which usually is in cpio format, compressed with gzip. The rpm2cpio tool enables retrieval of the cpio file without needing to install the RPM package.
- More recent versions of RPM can also use bzip2, lzip, lzma, or xz compression.
- RPM 5.0 format supports using xar for archiving.
