NAME
fastjar - a faster jar

SYNOPSIS
fastjar [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 100% feature compatible.

USAGE
If any file is a directory then it is processed recursively. 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
A summary of the options supported by fastjar is included below.

-@  Read names from stdin

-C  change to the specified directory and include the following file

-E  don't include the files found in a directory

-M  Do not create a manifest file for the entries

-0  store only; use no ZIP compression

-V  display version information

-c  create new archive

-f  specify archive file name

-m  include manifest information from specified manifest file

-t  list table of contents for archive

-u  update existing archive

-x  extract named (or all) files from archive

-v  generate verbose output on standard output

FASTJAR(1)

NAME
fastjar - archive tool for Java archives

SYNOPSIS
fastjar -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 recursively. 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.

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 directory 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.

-i  Generate an index of the packages in this jar and its Class-Path.

-J  All options starting with -J are ignored.

-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.

Parameters of the form @option{@}FILE are considered to be names of files, and are expanded with the contents of the file.

All remaining options are considered to be names of files.
