Description: Unpacking refers to the process of extracting files from a compressed archive, allowing access to their original content. This process is fundamental in file management, as compressed files are commonly used to reduce data size and facilitate storage and transfer. When unpacking, files are restored to their original format, enabling their use and manipulation. There are various tools and compression formats, such as ZIP, TAR, GZ, among others, each with its own characteristics and unpacking methods. The ability to unpack files is essential in software development environments, where developers often work with libraries and resources distributed in compressed formats. Additionally, in the context of virtualization and containers, unpacking becomes a crucial step for efficiently deploying applications and services.
