The ipk-file is a simple ar-archive (man ar). You usually find this in an ipk:
control.tar.gz - package info and dependencies
data.tar.gz - program- and data-files
<file with version info>
mc is rather good to sneak around in ipk's too, when you add the
following lines to your ~/.mc/bindings:
# .ipk
regex/\.ipk$
Open=%cd %p#uar
View=%view{ascii} ar t %f 2>/dev/null
