KanziSFX is a minimal Kanzi decompressor to decompress an embedded Kanzi bit stream, with built-in support to also untar a compressed tar archive. So, the embedded Kanzi bit stream could contain either a single file of arbitrary type or a tar archive which will be both decompressed and unarchived.

# KanziSFX: Kanzi SelF-eXtracting archive
KanziSFX is a minimal Kanzi decompressor to decompress an embedded Kanzi bit stream, with built-in support to also untar a compressed tar archive. So, the embedded Kanzi bit stream could contain either a single file of arbitrary type or a tar archive which will be both decompressed and unarchived.
Usage: `kanzisfx [options...]`
Argument | Description
--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`-knz` | Output Kanzi bit stream
`-o ` | Destination file or directory
`-info` | Show Kanzi bit stream info
`-` can be used in place of `` to designate standard output as the destination, but cannot be used in place of a directory for extracting tar archives.
Without any arguments, the embedded Kanzi stream will be decompressed into the working directory to a file of the same name as the executable, except with the `.exe` or `.app` extension removed. Or, if the Kanzi stream contains a tar archive, the tar archive will be both decompressed and unarchived into a folder within the working directory of the same name as the executable, except with the `.exe` or `.app` extension removed. So, command-line usage is only optional and the end user can just execute the application as they would any other application for this default behavior.
# Appending a Kanzi archive to a KanziSFX executable

For appending a Kanzi archive to a KanziSFX executable, issue one of the following commands.
For Windows:
```
copy /b "KanziSFX.exe"+"file.knz" "MyKanziSFX.exe"
```
For Linux and Mac:
```
cat "KanziSFX" "file.knz" > "MyKanziSFX"
