@cbrunnkvist FYI, 7zip has an official Linux/Mac CLI port. The Brew bottle is called sevenzip and the binary is called 7zz. I just tested it and it works the same way for extracting icons.

My understanding is that the official port (sevenzip/7zz) is the preferred program nowadays as it is actively maintained, which is important for stuff like security issues that crop up every now and then.
