Unpack a rar file in Linux

Hi,
I have a large files split into 4 parts ,and I just want to know what i can use to unpack it all. I'm using Linux (Ubuntu). Is there a command to use to unpack rar files? i just use a program to extract them but i was wondering if there a command on unpacking them

Any help would be appreciated

Possibly you'd have to install Rar for Linux: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm. However. it does state that it is a trial version so may have some limitations. This may only be that a warning says you must buy or remove after 40 days like the Windows version.

install "unrar" (most distros have a package for it) and then do "unrar x whatever.rar
