begin by inspecting the TARGET option to determine
        if it is a directory, archive, or archive of archives.

        In the case of a directory, the default behavior will be to edit the
        data in place. For an archive will we unpack the archive, iterate
        over the contents, and then repack the archive. In the case of an
        archive of archives, such as one from SoSCollector, each archive will
        be unpacked, cleaned, and repacked and the final top-level archive will
        then be repacked as well.
