Extract the entire XYZ file structure as uncompressed from compressed vector tiles

[roblabs]

cf. Discussion on whether .pbf can should be compressed when using tippecanoe: mapbox / tippecanoe #582

Given a MBTile file with gzip'd vector data, is there an efficient way to extract the entire XYZ file structure as uncompressed?

---

• [x] GZip command

gzip --decompress --recursive  --suffix .pbf *

---

• [x] Using ogr2ogr?

# change to z=0, x=0
cd 0/0
ogr2ogr -progress -f Shapefile 0.shp 0.pbf

---

• [ ] Using mapbox / mbutil?
