πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Heads up bestie: most of the time you're gonna want Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Negotiate instead. No cap. It looks at your platform and your environment and picks the right Extract plugin for you, like a little matchmaker 🧚. But sometimes you gotta come straight to this plugin yourself. It happens.

This plugin extracts from an archive in various formats using command line tools. That's the whole vibe. πŸ’…
