<para>
This method is used to convert a non-executable tar or zip archive to another
non-executable format.
</para>
<para>
If no changes are specified, this method throws a <classname>BadMethodCallException</classname>.
This method should be used to convert a tar archive to zip format or vice-versa. Although
it is possible to simply change the compression of a tar archive using this method,
it is better to use the <function>PharData::compress</function> method for logical
consistency.
</para>
<para>
If successful, the method creates a new archive on disk and returns a <classname>PharData</classname>
object. The old archive is not removed from disk, and should be done manually after
the process has finished.

<para>
This parameter is used to override the default file extension for a
converted archive. Note that <literal>.phar</literal> cannot be used
anywhere in the filename for a non-executable tar or zip archive.
</para>
<para>
If converting to a tar-based phar archive, the
default extensions are <literal>.tar</literal>, <literal>.tar.gz</literal>,
and <literal>.tar.bz2</literal> depending on specified compression.
For zip-based archives, the
default extension is <literal>.zip</literal>.
