I've learned something wonderfull again from my POSIX OS workstation.

I was looking for 7zip and did not bother to type 7z then tab. I was so delighted the name is **just** 7z. Of course Im reading the man page!

@RadioAzureus
What make you choose t7zip?

@visone I tried 7zip as the command because that is the way it was mapped in win64 in bash. I have scoop & git installed on those machines.

@RadioAzureus
Did you try libarchive (bsdtar) ?

@visone I have not tried libarchive yet from bsdtar.

I know the the library name but I remember that from the Amiga

I'll do it when I'm behind one of the machines

@RadioAzureus
Libarchive contains a binary (bsdtar) that have support for multiple compression formats, 7z included.

@visone
The machine I work on has a ENV where compilation of sources is not simple, because I only installed what is needed for the distro, to compile its stuff when needed (MX Linux, debian based)

As a result, I cant compile the source from libarchive, which I located on github

MX Linux and debian dont have a .deb of it. For now I'll need to stick with 7z
