FASTJAR(1) GNU FASTJAR(1)NAMEjar - archive tool for Java archives
SYNOPSISjar-ctxu [OPTIONS] [jar-file] [manifest-file] [-C dir]
files...
DESCRIPTION
"fastjar" is an implementation of Sun's jar utility that
comes with the JDK, written entirely in C, and runs in a
fraction of the time while being feature compatible.
If any file is a directory then it is processed recur-
sively. The manifest file name and the archive file name
needs to be specified in the same order the -m and -f
flags are specified.
OPTIONS
Exactly one of the following actions must be specified:
-c Create new archive.
-t List table of contents for archive.
-x Extract named (or all) files from archive.
-u Update existing archive. This option is disabled due
to bugs (currently fails with exit status 1 and does
nothing).
The following parameters are optional:
-@ Read the names of the files to add to the archive from
stdin. This option is supported only in combination
with -c or -u. Non standard option added in the GCC
version.
-C directory
Change to the directory and include the following
file.
-E Prevent fastjar from reading the content of a direc-
tory when specifying one (and instead relying on the
provided list of files to populate the archive with
regard to the directory entry). Non standard option
added in the GCC version.
-M Do not create a manifest file for the entries.
-0 Store only; use no ZIP compression.
-V
--version
Display version information.
-f archive
Specify archive file name.
-m manifest
Include manifest information from specified manifest
file.
-v Generate verbose output on standard output.
All remaining options are considered to be names of files.
