Extract
Command/function extract in your console
What’s a good way to extract: .zip, .rar, .bz2, .gz, .tar, .tbz2, .tgz, .Z, .7z, .xz, .exe, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, .arj, .cab, .chm, .deb, .dmg, .iso, .lzh, .msi, .rpm, .udf, .wim, .xar .cpio .cbr, .cbz, .cb7, .cbt, .cba, .apk, .zpaq, .arc, .ciso files on the Mac or Linux?
The goal is to make extract able to extract anything you give it. The command extract uses the free unpackers to support many older, obscure formats like this: .zip, .rar, .bz2, .gz, .tar, .tbz2, .tgz, .Z, .7z, .xz, .exe, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, .arj, .cab, .chm, .deb, .dmg, .iso, .lzh, .msi, .rpm, .udf, .wim, .xar .cpio, .cbr, .cbz, .cb7, .cbt, .cba, .apk, .zpaq, .arc, .ciso

Donation
I’ll continue to work and improve the script features regardless of the outcome of funding, because it's rewarding to see that people are using it and it does the job for them. Still I would appreciate your support in covering some of the expenses with the domain hosting and programming hours which are taken from my family time.
