ArkivTool is a command-line utility designed for managing and interacting with archive files. It provides a range of functionalities for creating, extracting, listing, and manipulating various archive formats commonly used in computing. The tool aims to offer a flexible and efficient way to handle compressed data, supporting popular formats such as ZIP, TAR, GZ, and BZ2, among others.
