Extracting a PAX archive file

Today, I had extract a PAX archive file on a mainframe. Having never done this before, I stumbled for a while until I figured out how to do it. For future reference, here's what I needed to do in order to unzip archive.pax:

pax -r < archive.pax

The Wikipedia page for the pax command is a useful source of example usage:
