# universalarchive plugin
Lets you compress files by a catchy command `ua <format> <files>` into various compression formats;
namely, `<format>` could be `zip`, `xz`, ..
For example, the command
```sh
ua xz *.html
```
will compress all `html` files in directory `folder` into `folder.xz`.
In more detail:
This plug-in defines a function called `universalarchive` that compresses the files you pass it; it supports a wide variety of compression format.
This way you don't have to know what specific command compresses a file, you
just do `universalarchive <archive type> <filename>` and the function takes
care of the rest.
To use it, add `universalarchive` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```zsh
plugins=(... universalarchive)
```
