I'm not proposing this as a replacement.
I propose add to man description and examples for each work mode.
Needed descriptions for this part.

As example:

-C, --directory=DIR change to directory DIR
For x mode this is extract to directory=DIR
<example>
For c mode this is source directory=DIR of files
<example>
<example>
For r mode ...
<example>
