This is the commonly used command-line to extract a file, in Linux, with 7zip:

7z e archive.whatever

i apologies, it is not possible to request, but in my linux box, i have unzipsfx, it it possible, with this we can do anything – user1127564 Jan 12 at 21:30
unzipsfx is for making executable zip archives; I don't think that is useful for extracting executable 7z archives. If you have a password, use the -p option after the 7z command, e.g.: 7z e -ppassword archive.whatever – rakslice Jan 13 at 10:39
