To unpack archives of various formats, we recommend using the universal utility unar.
You can see the help for use by executing the command:
unar --help
To extract the archive to the tmp_extract_dir directory (create the directory if it does not exist and extract to it), use the -o key:
unar -o tmp_extract_dir/ path_to_archive.zip
To force the contents of the destination directory (tmp_extract_dir) to be overwritten, use the -f switch:
unar -f -o tmp_extract_dir/ path_to_archive.zip
For archives created in MacOS, use an additional option:
-forks=skip
