archivemount — mount an archive for access as a filesystem

       See libarchive(3) for a definitive list, but all kinds of tar/ustar/pax/cpio  archives,  7-Zip,  ISO9660,
       ar, and RAR/Zip may be read.  These may be compressed with gzip(1), xz(1), zstd(1), &c. and are processed
       transparently.  The same applies for writing (except you can't write RARs).

       Writing archives, probably.

       Mounts, through fuse(8), a file tree contained in archive on directory mountpoint.  umount and fusermount-u can undo this mapping.

       archivemount — mount an archive for access as a filesystem

       See  fuse(8)  for  a  complete  list  of  the baseline FUSE options supported.  The following options are
       handled specially by archivemount:
       -h, --help        Write usage and all available options to standard error stream, then exit.
       -V, --version     Write version of archivemount, libarchive, and FUSE to the standard output stream, then
                         exit.

       -r, -oro, -oreadonly: Disable writes entirely.
       -opassword       Prompt for archive passphrase.
       -onobackup       When saving writes, the original archive is moved to "archive.orig".  This flag removes
                         that file afterward.
       -onosave         Allow writes in memory, but don't actually write them out on unmount.

       -osubtree=regex  Hide files not matching regex, and on those that do match, remove  the  matched  prefix
                         (cf.  second  example  above).   regex is a basic regular expression that behaves as-if
                         prepended with the equivalent of "^.?".  Implies -r.
       -oformatrawarchive is actually a compressed file, made available under mounpoint/saved-filename or
                         mounpoint/data.  Implies -r.
