The RAR archiver. Supports multi-volume archives that can be optionally self-extracting. More information: <https://manned.org/rar>.

• Archive 1 or more files:
  rar a path/to/archive_name.rar path/to/file1 path/to/file2 path/to/file3
• Archive a directory:
  rar a path/to/archive_name.rar path/to/directory
• Split the archive into parts of equal size (50M):
  rar a -v50M -R path/to/archive_name.rar path/to/file_or_directory
• Password protect the resulting archive:
  rar a -ppassword path/to/archive_name.rar path/to/file_or_directory
• Encrypt file data and headers with password:
  rar a -hppassword path/to/archive_name.rar path/to/file_or_directory
• Use a specific compression level (0-5):
  rar a -mcompression_level path/to/archive_name.rar path/to/file_or_directory
