 be a filename or a TarInfo object. You can
specify a different directory using `path'. File attributes (owner,
mtime, mode) are set unless `set_attrs' is False. If `numeric_owner`

the names.

The `filter` function will be called before extraction.
It can return a changed TarInfo or None to skip the member.
String names of common filters are accepted.
