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)
