Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
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 ``PATHs`` as arguments. The file selection can further
be restricted by using the ``--exclude`` option.
See the output of the "borg help patterns" command for more help on exclude patterns.
By using ``--dry-run``, 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.
``--progress`` can be slower than no progress display, since it makes one additional
pass over the archive metadata.
