Extracts the files in file_list from the library. The contents of the library are not changed. If no file operands are given, all files in the library are extracted. If the filename of a file extracted from the library is longer than that supported in the destination directory, the results are undefined.

Be aware that if the name of a file in the library is longer than the file system can support, an error is displayed and the file is not extracted. To extract files with long filenames, use the -T option to truncate the names of files that are too long.
