# This script automatically detects archive type by file's extension and extracts
# archive content. If there are several files in the archive and they are not
# placed in a directory, script automatically creates directory for this files
# before extracting. In case of directory name collision the scripts gives new
# directories names like dirname_1, dirname_2 etc.
