+.B \-\-archive-type TYPE
+Specify the type of archive that TARGET was generated as.
+When sos inspects a TARGET archive, it tries to identify what type of archive it is.
+For example, it may be a report generated by \fBsos report\fR, or a collection of those
+reports generated by \fBsos collect\fR, which require separate approaches.
+
+This option may be useful if a given TARGET archive is known to be of a specific type,
+but due to unknown reasons or some malformed/missing information in the archive directly,
+that is not properly identified by sos.
+
+The following are accepted values for this option:
+
+ \fBauto\fR Automatically detect the archive type
+ \fBreport\fR An archive generated by \fBsos report\fR
+ \fBcollect\fR An archive generated by \fBsos collect\fR
+
+The following may also be used, however note that these do not attempt to pre-load
+any information from the archives into the parsers. This means that, among other limitations,
+items like host and domain names may not be obfuscated unless an obfuscated mapping already exists
+on the system from a previous execution.
+
+ \fBdata-dir\fR A plain directory on the filesystem.
+ \fBtarball\fR A generic tar archive not associated with any known tool
