unrar rtfm issue

I have a large .rar file I would like to extract -- however, I keep
getting the message that duplicate file names exist -- would you like
to rename? I stopped answering 'y' after the first 50 duplicate
files.

What command would I issue to make unrar automatically rename the file
(i.e. abc-1, abc-2, abc-3...)?

Many thanks.
