7za.exe
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
7za.exe - is a standalone console version of 7-Zip with reduced formats support.
|
|
|
|
Extra: 7za.exe : support for only some formats of 7-Zip.
|
|
7-Zip: 7z.exe with 7z.dll : support for all formats of 7-Zip.
|
|
|
|
7za.exe and 7z.exe from 7-Zip have same command line interface.
|
|
7za.exe doesn't use external DLL files.
|
|
|
|
You can read Help File (7-zip.chm) from 7-Zip package for description
|
|
of all commands and switches for 7za.exe and 7z.exe.
|
|
|
|
7za.exe features:
|
|
|
|
- High compression ratio in 7z format
|
|
- Supported formats:
|
|
- Packing / unpacking: 7z, xz, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
|
|
- Unpacking only: Z, lzma, CAB.
|
|
- Highest compression ratio for ZIP and GZIP formats.
|
|
- Fast compression and decompression
|
|
- Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats.
|
|
|
|
Note: LZMA SDK contains 7zr.exe - more reduced version of 7za.exe.
|
|
But you can use 7zr.exe as "public domain" code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DLL files
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
7za.dll and 7zxa.dll are reduced versions of 7z.dll from 7-Zip.
|
|
7za.dll and 7zxa.dll support only 7z format.
|
|
Note: 7z.dll is main DLL file that works with all archive types in 7-Zip.
|
|
|
|
7za.dll and 7zxa.dll support the following decoding methods:
|
|
- LZMA, LZMA2, PPMD, BCJ, BCJ2, COPY, 7zAES, BZip2, Deflate.
|
|
|
|
7za.dll also supports 7z encoding with the following encoding methods:
|
|
- LZMA, LZMA2, PPMD, BCJ, BCJ2, COPY, 7zAES.
|
|
|
|
7za.dll and 7zxa.dll work via COM interfaces.
|
|
But these DLLs don't use standard COM interfaces for objects creating.
|
|
|
|
Look also example code that calls DLL functions (in source code of 7-Zip):
|
|
|
|
7zip\UI\Client7z
|
|
|
|
Another example of binary that uses these interface is 7-Zip itself.
|
|
The following binaries from 7-Zip use 7z.dll:
|
|
- 7z.exe (console version)
|
|
- 7zG.exe (GUI version)
|
|
- 7zFM.exe (7-Zip File Manager)
|
|
|
|
Note: The source code of LZMA SDK also contains the code for similar DLLs
|
|
(DLLs without BZip2, Deflate support). And these files from LZMA SDK can be
|
|
used as "public domain" code. If you use LZMA SDK files, you don't need to
|
|
follow GNU LGPL rules, if you want to change the code.

License FAQ
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Can I use the EXE or DLL files from 7-Zip in a commercial application?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Yes, but you are required to specify in documentation for your application:
|
|
(1) that you used parts of the 7-Zip program,
|
|
(2) that 7-Zip is licensed under the GNU LGPL license and
|
|
(3) you must give a link to www.7-zip.org, where the source code can be found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can I use the source code of 7-Zip in a commercial application?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Since 7-Zip is licensed under the GNU LGPL you must follow the rules of that license.
|
|
In brief, it means that any LGPL'ed code must remain licensed under the LGPL.
|
|
For instance, you can change the code from 7-Zip or write a wrapper for some
|
|
code from 7-Zip and compile it into a DLL; but, the source code of that DLL
|
|
(including your modifications / additions / wrapper) must be licensed under
|
|
the LGPL or GPL.
|
|
Any other code in your application can be licensed as you wish. This scheme allows
|
|
users and developers to change LGPL'ed code and recompile that DLL. That is the
|
|
idea of free software. Read more here: http://www.gnu.org/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: You can look also LZMA SDK, which is available under a more liberal license.
