- Extract syntax is based on PKZIP/PKUNZIP and ARJ model.
- First parameter must be -i, -it, -l, -e, -o, -x, -oe or -ox. If the first
- parameter is the image filenale, the -l (list option) is selected.
- Second parameter is the image filename. You can use wildcard with
- Joker, and Extract use all the file it find with this joker.
- Third parameter is optionnal. It is the location where you want extract
- your file. You must begin this parameter with x:, where x is the drive. If
- you give only subdirectory name, extract don't consider it as a extract
- location information.
-
- And after (if first is not -i or -it), you can specify somes wildcard
- for choose files in images. You don't specifiy it, Extract use all
- file in the image. If first is -i or -it, they specifie file you want
- inject in image. (or -Fxxx to specifie the format of the image you want build)
