+dwarfsextract(1) -- extract DwarFS image
+========================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`dwarfsextract` -i *image* [-o *dir*] [*options*...]
+`dwarfsextract` -i *image* -f *format* [-o *file*] [*options*...]<br>
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+**dwarfsextract** allows you to extract a DwarFS image, either directly
+into another archive format file, or to a directory on disk.
+
+To extract the filesystem image to a directory, you can use:
+
+    dwarfsextract -i image.dwarfs -o output-directory
+
+The output directory must exist.
+
+You can also rewrite the contents of the filesystem image as another
+archive type, for example, to write a tar archive, you can use:
+
+    dwarfsextract -i image.dwarfs -o output.tar -f ustar
+
+For a list of supported formats, see libarchive-formats(5).
+
+If you want to compress the output archive, you can use a pipeline:
+
+    dwarfsextract -i image.dwarfs -f ustar | gzip > output.tar.gz
+
+You could also use this as an alternative way to extract the files
+to disk:
+
+    dwarfsextract -i image.dwarfs -f cpio | cpio -id
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+  * `-i`, `--input=`*file*:
+    Path to the source filesystem.
+
+  * `-o`, `--output=`*directory*`|`*file*:
+    If no format is specified, this is the directory to which the contents
+    of the filesystem should be extracted. If a format is specified, this
+    is the name of the output archive. This option can be omitted, in which
+    case the default is to extract the files to the current directory, or
+    to write the archive data to stdout.
+
+  * `-n`, `--num-workers=`*value*:
+    Number of worker threads used for building the filesystem. This defaults
+    to the number of processors available on your system. Use this option if
+    you want to limit the resources used by `mkdwarfs`.
+
+  * `-s`, `--cache-size=`*value*:
+    Size of the block cache, in bytes. You can append suffixes (`k`, `m`, `g`)
+    to specify the size in KiB, MiB and GiB, respectively. Note that this is
+    not the upper memory limit of the process, as there may be blocks in
+    flight that are not stored in the cache. Also, each block that hasn't been
+    fully decompressed yet will carry decompressor state along with it, which
+    can use a significant amount of additional memory.
+
+  * `--log-level=`*name*:
+    Specifiy a logging level.
+
+  * `--help`:
+    Show program help, including defaults, compression level detail and
+    supported compression algorithms.
