% ./unrar --help

Usage: UNRAR <command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...>
<@listfiles...> <path_to_extract\>
Specify empty listfile name to read names from stdin

<Commands>
x Extract with full path e Extract to current directory
t Test archive files p Print file to stdout
l List contents of archive v Verbosely list contents of archive

<Switches>
r Recurse subdirectories y Assume Yes on all queries
o+ Overwrite existing files o- Do not overwrite existing files
f Freshen files u Update files
v List all volumes
c- Disable comments show
x<file> Exclude specified file
x@<list> Exclude files in specified list file
x@ Read file names to exclude from stdin
p<password> Set password
p- Do not query password
kb Keep broken extracted files
ierr Send all messages to stderr
inul Disable all messages


so i guess something like unrar x @
or unrar x @ file1,file2,file3
or something like that. i don't have anything to try it on here.
