  <para>
   For tar-based and phar-based phar archives, this method decompresses the entire archive.
  </para>
  <para>
   For Zip-based phar archives, this method fails with an exception.
   The <link linkend="ref.zlib">zlib</link> extension must be enabled to decompress
   an archive compressed with gzip compression, and the
   <link linkend="ref.bzip2">bzip2</link> extension must be
   enabled in order to decompress an archive compressed with bzip2 compression.
   As with all functionality that modifies the contents of a phar, the
   <link linkend="ini.phar.readonly">phar.readonly</link> INI variable must be off
   in order to succeed.
  </para>
  <para>
   In addition, this method automatically changes the file extension of the archive,
   <literal>.phar</literal>
   by default for phar archives, or <literal>.phar.tar</literal> for tar-based phar archives.
   Alternatively, a file extension may be specified with the second
   parameter.

       For decompressing, the default file extensions
       are <literal>.phar</literal> and <literal>.phar.tar</literal>.
       Use this parameter to specify another file extension.  Be aware
       that all executable phar archives must contain <literal>.phar</literal>
       in their filename.
