Extract GZIP

A TGZ file, also known as a "tarball," is a file format that combines multiple files and directories into a single archive. The name "TGZ" is derived from its two main components: "TAR," which stands for "Tape Archive," and "GZ," which represents the GZIP compression used to compress the tar archive.

Use the ExtractArchiveToDirectory method of the IronGZipArchive class to extract the contents from a TGZ file. The 'output.tgz' file we created earlier is first archived using tar and then compressed with GZIP compression.
