DESCRIPTION

The unpack200 command is a native implementation that transforms a packed file produced by pack200(1) into a JAR file. A typical usage follows. In the following example, the myarchive.jar file is produced from myarchive.pack.gz with the default unpack200 command settings.

unpack200 myarchive.pack.gz myarchive.jar

 

OPTIONS

-Hvalue --deflate-hint=value

Sets the deflation to be true, false, or keep on all entries within a JAR file. The default mode is keep. If the value is true or false, then the --deflate=hint option overrides the default behavior and sets the deflation mode on all entries within the output JAR file.

-r --remove-pack-file

Removes the input pack file.

-v --verbose

Displays minimal messages. Multiple specifications of this option displays more verbose messages.

-q --quiet

Specifies quiet operation with no messages.

-lfilename --log-file=filename

Specifies a log file where output messages are logged.

-? -h --help

Prints help information about the unpack200 command.

-V --version

Prints version information about the unpack200 command.

-Joption

Passes option to the Java Virtual Machine, where option is one of the options described on the reference page for the Java application launcher. For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 MB. See java(1).

 

NOTES

This command should not be confused with the unpack command. They are distinctly separate products.

The Java SE API Specification provided with the JDK is the superseding authority in case of discrepancies.
