Was trying to extract a totally legit copy of Skate 3 I downloaded today to play on my Steam Deck

    Why remember/include the algorithm? Tar can infer that. It’s just bsdtar xf filename.* for everything. (bsdtar handles .zip as well)

        Yes, and tar works the same, it just doesn’t handle zip files.

        And even if we’re pedantic: bsdtar is Arch Linux’ executable name for a port of the tar command that is shipped by BSDs, so it’s also tar.
