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.
