LHA implementation to decompress .lzh and .lzs archives

Commands and aliases

  • lha

history

Project history and usage

Lhasa is a free software implementation of the Unix LHA tool for reading LHA/LHarc `.lzh`, LArc `.lzs`, and related archive variants. It provides both a command-line `lha` compatible tool and a reusable library backend.

Project history

The project homepage frames Lhasa as a free replacement for the non-free Unix LHA tool, aiming to decompress as many LZH/LZS archive variants as possible and to match the original command-line output closely enough for compatibility with existing tools.

The README emphasizes reading/decompression rather than archive creation, compatibility with LArc and PMarc variants, and a regression test suite built from archives generated by different tools on different operating systems. GitHub releases show a public release line from 0.0.1 through 0.6.0.

Adoption history

Lhasa is packaged by many Unix-like distributions and ports systems, including Debian/Ubuntu, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Homebrew, NetBSD pkgsrc, openSUSE, Void Linux, Alpine, Fedora/DNF, Arch, Nix, and MacPorts. Its adoption comes from archive compatibility rather than application glamour: people still need to unpack old `.lzh` and `.lzs` files.

How it is used

Users invoke the installed `lha` command to list or extract legacy archives, while developers can use the library backend for archive parsing. Because it tries to mimic the older Unix LHA interface, it can replace workflows that expect `lha` output.

Why package nerds care

Lhasa matters to package nerds as a small compatibility and preservation tool: it replaces a historically non-free archiver interface with an ISC-licensed implementation, keeps legacy Japanese/DOS-era archive formats accessible, and gives distributions a clean default for LHA extraction.
