WinRAR Switch -S - create solid archive

Switch -S - create solid archive

Solid is a special archive type. Solid archiving significantly improves the compression ratio at the cost of archive update speed. This switch is meaningful only when creating a new RAR archive.

Shell mode equivalent of this switch is the "Create solid archive" option in Archive name and parameters dialog.

Example

add all *.c and *.h files from the current folder to the solid archive Sources

WinRAR a -s Sources *.c *.h

Please refer to the Solid archives chapter for further information.
