Unpack 7z, ZIP, TAR, and compressed archives
An archive in, its extracted files out.
overview
What p7zip does
The 7-Zip node extracts one connected archive into its output folder. It supports 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZIP, and many other formats recognized by the 7-Zip engine.
Set --password only for an encrypted input. The password is passed directly to 7-Zip and is not written into the extracted folder.
This public contract is intentionally extraction-only. It does not expose arbitrary 7-Zip subcommands that could create ambiguous output paths or overwrite an upstream artifact.
