extract

This command extracts files from the specified archive in the download folder __Download and leaves the results in the same folder.

An archive file is similar to a compressed tar file. BigFix uses a tool called BFArchive to construct the archive.

This can be useful for copying an entire directory to a computer, which is often required by installers that contain multiple files along with a setup executable.

Syntax

extract <archive-file>

Examples

Extract files of InstallMyApp in the __Download folder, places the results back in the __Download folder and deletes the original InstallMyApp file.
