generic uncompressor

Tags:

Is there a generic uncompressor script that can guess the
format of the compressed file and then test
or decompress both .gz and .bz2 files ?

Thanks
Yakov

I realize it's trivial shell script but still,
is there one in common use ?

Probably too trivial to code - 'file' tells you whether it's bz2 or gz. You might automatically determine the type in large complicated scripts, but when just decompressing the odd file, why bother?
