  • [a]rchive a file or directory:
    7za a path/to/archive.7z path/to/file_or_directory
  • Encrypt an existing archive (including file names):
    7za a path/to/encrypted.7z -ppassword -mhe=on path/to/archive.7z
  • E[x]tract an archive preserving the original directory structure:
    7za x path/to/archive.7z
  • E[x]tract an archive to a specific directory:
    7za x path/to/archive.7z -opath/to/output
  • E[x]tract an archive to `stdout`:
    7za x path/to/archive.7z -so
  • [a]rchive using a specific archive type:
    7za a -t7z|bzip2|gzip|lzip|tar|... path/to/archive.7z path/to/file_or_directory
  • [l]ist the contents of an archive:
    7za l path/to/archive.7z
  • Set the level of compression (higher means more compression, but slower):
    7za a path/to/archive.7z -mx=0|1|3|5|7|9 path/to/file_or_directory
