TNT | 38 MB
Pacifist opens up .pkg installer packages, .dmg disk images, .zip, .tar. tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .pax, and .xar archives and more, and lets you extract or install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package (for example, if you deleted your Preview application and need to reinstall it, but not the whole operating system), or if you want to inspect a downloaded package to see what it will do before installing it. Pacifist can also load some archive types over HTTP, in case you want to extract just a single file from a large .zip archive without waiting for the entire archive to download. Finally, Pacifist can examine the kernel extensions installed in your system to let you see what installer installed them, and whether the installer was made by Apple or a third-party.
Pacifist is a powerful multi-tool for working with macOS package files, disk images, and file archives. Using Pacifist, you can:
open a wide variety of file archives, including:
macOS .pkg package files,
.dmg disk images,
macOS asset catalogs,
Mac OS 9 Installer Tome files, and
.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .xar, and .yaa archives,
examine and extract individual files and folders,
inspect install scripts and other package resources to make sure that a package is trustworthy before installing it,
analyze existing installations on your system, to help you determine who installed a particular file on your system,
view archive contents straight from the Finder via QuickLook,
view and extract files from archives via your choice of a slick GUI or an automation-friendly command-line interface, and even
inspect the contents of .zip files (and other supported types) over the Web without downloading the entire archive first.
