2) 7-Zip for Linux/macOS - this package - it's new code with all changes from
latest 7-Zip for Windows.
7zz (7-Zip) - standalone full version of 7-Zip that supports all formats.
7zzs (7-Zip) - standalone full version of 7-Zip that supports all formats
(static library linking).
7z (p7zip) - 7-Zip that requires 7z.so shared library, and it supports all
formats via 7z.so.
7zr (p7zip) - standalone reduced version of 7-Zip that supports some 7-Zip's
formats:
7z, xz, lzma and split.
7za (p7zip) - standalone version of 7-Zip that supports some main formats:
7z, xz, lzma, zip, bzip2, gzip, tar, cab, ppmd and split.
7zzs is similar to 7zz, but 7zzs was compiled for static library linking,
so 7zzs does not use external shared library (".so") files.
You can use 7zzs, if 7zz does not work due to lack of required shared library
(".so") files.
The command line syntax for executables from p7zip is similar to 7zz syntax from
this package.
The manual of 7-Zip and p7zip can show `7z` in command examples.
But you can use `7zz`, `7zr`, `7za` instead of `7z` from examples.
Example commands
