CLI command to unpack a DEB file?

Hi, I would like to using the bash for a script that can unpack all the files from the DEB (debian) to the /tmp, by using Command line.
if possible...

Thanks

Code:

ar x <debfile>

to extract a tar file inside the deb (like data.tar.gz):

Code:

ar p <debfile> data.tar.gz | tar xvfz

Unpacking with 'dpkg' to /tmp/ :

dpkg -x <package.deb> /tmp
