Library for decompression of most common file-archive formats?

Question

I'm writing an application that needs to read the contents of & decompress common file-archival formats, including ZIP, RAR, and 7z. However, I can't seem to find a library that does all this and abstracts the functionality to the level I need, with simple functions in the vein of:

• ExtractArchive()
• ExtractArchiveTruncated()
• ReadArchiveFileTree()
• SearchArchiveContents()

I don't need (or want) to mess around with the deep technical details of compression and the various formats.

Does anyone know of any such library, or a viable alternative?

Thanks!

SharpZip is something I have seen mentioned in SO posts multiple times. Xceed also has something for this . These target the dotnet platform
