filelist - This is a list of filenames, one name per line.

For each file in filelist, the decompression program is chosen based on the file extension, and the file is decompressed. Consequently, files in the list may be in different compression formats, and the appropriate program will be chosen for each file.

The following file formats are currently supported:

Compressed file format	File extension	program
GNU Zip	gz	unpigz
Zip	zip	unzip
bzip2	bz2	bunzip2
7z	7z	p7zip
