func Extract(fileInput, dirOutput string) (err error)

Extract uncompress and/or unarchive file from fileInput into directory defined by dirOutput. This is the high level API that combine standard archive/zip, archive/tar, compress/bzip2, and/or compress/gzip.

The compression and archive format is detected automatically based on the following fileInput extension:

• .bz2: decompress using compress/bzip2.
• .gz: decompress using compress/gzip.
• .tar: unarchive using archive/tar.
• .zip: unarchive using archive/zip.
• .tar.bz2: decompress using compress/bzip2 and unarchive using archive/tar.
• .tar.gz: decompresss using compress/gzip and unarchive using archive/tar.

The output directory, dirOutput, where the decompressed and/or unarchived file stored will be created if not exist. If its empty, it will set to current directory.

On success, the compressed and/or archived file will be removed from the file system.
