archive

=======

Provides `archive`, `unarchive` and `lsarchive` functions for easy archive

manipulation based on file extensions.

[Don't remember the complete tar command to compress, uncompress or list the

contents of an archive?](https://xkcd.com/1168/) Use `archive myarchive.tar.gz

/path/to/be/archived` to compress, `unarchive myarchive.tar.gz` to uncompress or

`lsarchive myarchive.tar.gz` to list, for example, and the respective functions

will take care of the underlying command for you. They also work with the other

archive extensions listed below.

Suffix aliases are also provided so files can be directly uncompressed.

This module will make use of `pbzip2` and `pigz` if available to make use of all available CPU cores.
