Extracting Nupkg files using command line

Question

Firstly  I do not want to use Visual Studio at all when dealing with the certain  nupkg files   I know there is a tool called NuGet Package Explorer and this can export nupkg files to a certain file location using a gui  but I m looking to setup a MSBuild task to run and unpack about 50  nupkg files  using the command line   My question is  is there a tool you can use via the command line which will unpack  nupkg files to a specified file location

You can also use the NuGet command line  by specifying a local host as part of an install  For example if your package is stored in the current directory  nuget install MyPackage -Source  cd  -OutputDirectory packages   will unpack it into the target directory

NuPKG files are just zip files  so anything that can process a zip file should be able to process a nupkg file  i e  7zip
