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.
