This section describes cabarc command-line options.
Confirms the files to be operated on.
Includes a specified 16-bit cabinet identifier for application use; defaults to 0 (zero).
Specifies the compression mode. It can be NONE, MSZIP, or LZX:n, where n is between 15 and 21 inclusive. The LZX compression mode is supported by Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. By default, MSZIP is used as the compression type.
When extracting, overwrites without a prompt for confirmation.
Removes the specified prefix entered from files when added. This option can be used to remove path information and can be used multiple times to remove multiple paths. For example,
cabarc –r –p –P myproj\ a test.cab myproj\balloon\*.*
Preserves path names in the cabinet file when used with the N command, and uses that path information with the X command. By default, only the file name component is stored or extracted.
Archives files recursively in all subdirectories.
Reserves space in the cabinet file for a code signature. For example, /s 6144 reserves 6 KB.
