DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

20       -path-type [auto,iso9660,rockridge,joliet,udf]
21              Specifies  the  path name convention to use while extracting the
22              files.  If the ISO to be extracted doesn't contain the path type
23              specified,  an  error  is thrown.  If not specified, defaults to
24              auto, which first tries to extract files via the UDF path,  then
25              the  Rock  Ridge  path,  then the Joliet path, and finally falls
26              back to the ISO9660 path if all else fails.  Once one path  type
27              succeeds, all files will be extracted as that path type.
28
29       -start-path <pathname>
30              The  ISO path to start extracting from, specified in a Unix like
31              path (something like "/foo/bar").  If not specified,  extraction
32              starts  from the root of the ISO (equivalent to specifying "/").
33              The starting path must be a directory on the ISO.  If -path-type
34              is  not  specified,  the  path  is  an  ISO9660  style path.  If
35              -path-type is specified, the start path specified here  must  be
36              of that particular type.
37
38       -extract-to <destpath>
39              The local directory to extract the data to.  The "destpath" must
40              exist and must be a directory, or an error will be  thrown.   If
41              not  specified,  pycdlib-extract-files will extract the files to
42              the current directory.
