From main.cc:

const struct { const char * from; const char * to; } known_extensions[] = {
  { ".lz",  ""     },
  { ".tlz", ".tar" },
  { 0,      0      } };

[...]

void set_c_outname( const std::string & name, const bool force_ext,
                    const bool multifile )
  {
  output_filename = name;
  if( multifile ) output_filename += "00001";
  if( force_ext || multifile || extension_index( output_filename ) < 0 )
    output_filename += known_extensions[0].from;
  }

[...]
