x 3.0

x project is a tool for Unix-like systems that takes all the hassle out of extracting archives. Heres an example of how you use it:
$ x linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2
Thats basically the same thing as:
$ tar -jxf linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2
So why use x?
Main features:
- Handles many archive types: You only need to remember one simple command to extract tar, zip, cpio, deb, and rpm files. If theyre compressed, x will take care of that for you, too.
- Keeps everything organized: x will make sure that archives are extracted into their own dedicated directories.
- Sane permissions: x makes sure you can read and write all the files you just extracted, while leaving the rest of the permissions intact.
- Recursive extraction: x can find archives inside the archive and extract those too.
