+      Never extract archives from untrusted sources without prior inspection.
+      It is possible that files are created outside of *path*, e.g. members
+      that have absolute filenames starting with ``"/"`` or filenames with two
+      dots ``".."``.  This module attempts to prevent that.
       See :meth:`extract` note.
