## Extract Files
Some file types have some internal file system that can be displayed or extracted
Some file types have an internal file system. This can be displayed and extracted.
To display the file system tree, use the file tree option `--fstree`:
```
nstool --fstree some_file.bin
```
To extract the file system, use the extract option `-x`, `--extract`. Which has four modes.
1) Extract the entire file system.
This extracts the contents of the entire file system to `./extract_dir/`. `extract_dir` will be created if it doesn't exist.
```
nstool -x ./extract_dir/ some_file.bin
```
2) Extract a sub directory.
This extracts the contents of `/a/sub/directory/` to `./extract_dir/`. `extract_dir` will be created if it doesn't exist.
```
nstool -x /a/sub/directory/ ./extract_dir/ some_file.bin
```
3) Extract a specific file to a directory.
This extracts `/path/to/a/file.bin` to `./extract_dir/file.bin`.
```
nstool -x /path/to/a/file.bin ./extract_dir/ some_file.bin
```
4) Extract a specific file with a custom name.
This extracts `/path/to/a/file.bin` to `./extract_dir/different_name.bin`.
```
nstool -x /path/to/a/file.bin ./extract_dir/different_name.bin some_file.bin
```
