deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will just work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after extraction, extracts relative to the current working directory, and extracts just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It provides automatic handling of extractor gotchas by creating an extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level and by being able to fix strange permissions. Dozens of archive file extensions are supported out of the box, and adding support for others requires very little work. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes: This release fixes a silly bug regarding filenames that contain white space. crename and symlinktargets are now always built (this means that if you decide to switch from a GNU toolchain to a non-GNU one, it will not break deco.) Default CFLAGS conform to the SUS. cc’s parameter -s has been moved into LDFLAGS, so distributors no longer need to patch the Makefile to enable debug symbols. The writeout utility has been replaced with pure shell code. Minor code cleanups.
