File Unpacking Script

This repository contains a Bash script for unpacking compressed files. The script provides the functionality to decompress files of various compression types, including gzip, bzip2, zip, and compress.

Usage

You can use this script to efficiently unpack compressed files in a directory.

Prerequisites

Bash shell (Most Unix-like systems come with Bash pre-installed)
file command for determining compression type
gunzip, bunzip2, unzip, and uncompress commands for decompression (Make sure these are available on your system)

Running the Script

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/file-unpacking-script.git

Change into the repository directory:
```
cd file-unpacking-script
```
Make the script executable:
```
chmod +x unpack.sh
```
Run the script with desired options and file paths:
```
./unpack.sh [options] file1 file2 directory1 ...
```
Available options:
- -r: Enable recursive unpacking for directories (optional)
- -v: Enable verbose output (optional)
Example usage:
```
./unpack.sh -r -v compressed_directory/file1.gz compressed_file.zip another_directory
```

Example

Suppose you have a directory named archives containing compressed files, and you want to unpack them:

./unpack.sh -r archives

This command will recursively unpack all files in the archives directory.
