.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
borg [common options] extract <options> ARCHIVE PATH
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This command extracts the contents of an archive. By default the entire
archive is extracted but a subset of files and directories can be selected
by passing a list of \fBPATHs\fP as arguments. The file selection can further
be restricted by using the \fB\-\-exclude\fP option.
.sp
See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on exclude patterns.
.sp
By using \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP, you can do all extraction steps except actually writing the
output data: reading metadata and data chunks from the repo, checking the hash/hmac,
decrypting, decompressing.
.sp
\fB\-\-progress\fP can be slower than no progress display, since it makes one additional
pass over the archive metadata.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
See \fIborg\-common(1)\fP for common options of Borg commands.
