funzip

funzip without a file argument acts as a filter; that is, it assumes that a ZIP archive (or a gzip'd file) is being piped into standard input, and it extracts the first member from the archive to stdout. When stdin comes from a tty device, funzip assumes that this cannot be a stream of (binary) compressed data and shows a short help text, instead. If there is a file argument, then input is read from the specified file instead of from stdin.
