Reference

fileset extract

Sync a FileSet blob into <dest>, restoring permission bits and creating directories. By default this is a clean sync: files on disk that are absent from the blob are deleted, and changed files are written in place so inotify watchers on unchanged paths keep their inodes. Pass --additive to overlay without deleting strays. A non-empty destination is refused unless --force is passed.

Required

blob

argument

Blob path to extract, or '-' for stdin.

dest

argument

Destination directory.

Optional

--force

boolean default false

Sync into a non-empty destination.

--additive

boolean default false

Overlay without deleting files absent from the blob.
