  #:strip-count strip-count    
  #:permissive? permissive?    
  #:filter filter-proc])  void?
  in : (or/c path-string? input-port?)
  dest-path : (or/c path-string? #f) = #f
  strip-count : exact-nonnegative-integer? = 0
  permissive? : any/c = #f
  filter-proc : 
(path? (or/c path? #f)
 symbol? exact-integer? (or/c path? #f)

 exact-nonnegative-integer?

The same as untar, but if in is in gzip form, it is gunzipped as it is unpacked.

Changed in version 6.3 of package base: Added the #:permissive? argument.
