Description

Mounts compressed archive files as read-only folders, making their contents browsable without extracting everything to disk. It is useful when you need to inspect large archives or copy a few files from them.

Because it works through FUSE, reliability and permissions depend on the archive format and local mount settings. Treat unknown archives carefully and unmount them when finished.
