+libarchive has limited support to read files in RAR format. Currently,
+libarchive can read single RAR files in RARv3 format which have been either
+created uncompressed, or compressed using any of the compression methods
+supported by the RARv3 format. libarchive can also extract RAR files which have
+been created as self-extracting RAR files.
