Russian programmer Igor Pavlov has created a console version of 7-zip on Linux. This project hasn’t seen an update in five years. The developer said that the 7-zip port is similar to the p7-zip archiver, but it is not a complete copy. It is known that in order to check that 7-zip is working correctly, you need to run the Benchmart command. It also shows the performance of the CPU. However, the programmer added that the testing team can take more than 10 minutes to load, and therefore users will have to wait a little for the result.
Igor Pavlov noted that the source code license for 7-zip will be the same as for p7-zip – the GNU LGPL. The developer has also compiled 7-zip code with p7-zip scripts for text purposes, which makes it possible to combine two versions of the code at once. Also, the console version of 7-zip for Linux employs specialized CPU instructions to accelerate AES, CRC-32, SHA-1, and SHA-256 computations, thereby improving overall performance on ARM64 hardware. The rest of the characteristics of the new file archiver are not provided at the moment.
Active users of the Linux operating system are pleased with the new development of Igor Pavlov, since 7-zip is an ideal archiver for files.
For reference, 7-zip is a highly compressed file archiver for ZIP and GZIP formats, which is 2-10% better than its counterparts. This archiver can be used absolutely on any computer. No registration or payment is required to use 7-zip. Previously, versions were released to work with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2008, 2003, 2000, NT, ME and 98. Now the file archiver has become available for Linux.
