NAME

       pycdlib-extract-files - tool to extract files from an ISO using pycdlib

SYNOPSIS

       pycdlib-extract-files [OPTIONS] <iso-file>

DESCRIPTION

       This is a tool to extract files from an existing ISO file.  Using this tool, the files and directories on
       an ISO can be extracted to the local filesystem.

OPTIONS

       -path-type [auto,iso9660,rockridge,joliet,udf]
              Specifies  the path name convention to use while extracting the files.  If the ISO to be extracted
              doesn't contain the path type specified, an error is thrown.  If not specified, defaults to  auto,
              which  first  tries  to  extract files via the UDF path, then the Rock Ridge path, then the Joliet
              path, and finally falls back to the ISO9660 path if all else fails.  Once one path type  succeeds,
              all files will be extracted as that path type, and then pycdlib-extract-files will quit.

       -start-path <pathname>
              The  ISO path to start extracting from, specified in a Unix like path (something like "/foo/bar").
              If not specified, extraction starts from the root of the ISO (equivalent to specifying "/").   The
              starting  path  must  be  a  directory on the ISO.  If -path-type is not specified, the path is an
              ISO9660 style path.  If -path-type is specified, the start path specified here  must  be  of  that
              particular type.

       -extract-to <destpath>
              The local directory to extract the data to.  The "destpath" must exist and must be a directory, or
              an  error  will  be thrown.  If not specified, pycdlib-extract-files will extract the files to the
              current directory.
