+	Extract the _ARCHIVE_ passed as argument into the current directory,
+	transparently uncompressing *tar*(1) archives if needed.

+# OPTIONS
+*-n*,
+*--dry-run*
+	Output the shell command that would be executed without this option.

+# EXTRACT OPTIONS
+*-C* _PATH_,
+*--path*=_PATH_
+	Extract into to _PATH_ regardless of the archive's internal layout.

The details of the extraction do depend on the archive's structure, but _PATH_ does not. We could of course keep it simple and just say "Extract archive into to _PATH_" because main point of this is that you don't need to care, whereas otherwise you need to know exactly how the archive looks like inside.
