through RarLab's unrar.
Currently the plugin is available only for Windows or Wine/ReactOS,
Linux version will be analyzed and tested for future updates.
* Due the non-OSI compatible unrar restriction (even if the software
provides sources and is royalty-free) the software is available as
separate plugin on Add-Ons page.
* Due the different syntax between RarLab's unrar and 7z/p7zip's unrar,
following differences apply when handling RAR5 format:
- Recursivity with advanced filters is always enabled.

which is non-free under OSI definition:

royalty-free but non free-as-in-freedom backend,
currently: unace and unrar binaries.

of dubious status, currently apply to unrar functions in
