unpack - recursively unpack a file and any archives it contains

• useful for files like .pkg that are xar archives containing further gz/cpio archives
• this will not only unpack the primary file (zip/bz2/gz/tar/cpio/xar/gz/7z/xz) but also all packed/archived files contained unpack . - look for any archives in our dir unpack -v archive.tar.gz - verbose

rtl - uses rtl_fm or hackrf_fm to listen to a frequency, with a default of AM modulation and a high sample rate.

usage: rtl [-s squelch] [-m modulation] [-b (baudline)] [-l (lowpass)] <frequency (hz/mhz)> [file.wav]

rtl 315M listens at 315M with AM modulation and a sample rate of 2M

rtl 315M test.wav saves to test.wav while listening to 15M with AM modulation and a sample rate of 2M
