How to use them:
unzip file.zip unpack into the current folder
unzip -l file.zip list what is inside first
unzip file.zip -d folder unpack into "folder"
zip -r out.zip folder pack a folder
7z x file.7z unpack (7z also reads zip, rar, iso...)
7z a out.7z folder pack a folder
tar xf file.tar.gz unpack tar archives (gz, xz, bz2, zst)
tar czf out.tar.gz folder pack one
Look at what is inside (unzip -l, 7z l, tar tf) before unpacking one that
came from someone you don't know: it can write to any folder it names.
