Unpacks a Docker image.

## Usage

usage: undocker.py [-h] [--ignore-errors] [--output OUTPUT] [--verbose]
[--debug] [--list] [--layer LAYER]
image

positional arguments:
image

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--ignore-errors, -i Ignore OS errors when extracting files
--output OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT
Output directory (defaults to ".")
--verbose, -v
--debug, -d
--list, --ls List layers in an image
--layer LAYER, -l LAYER
Extract only the specified layer

## Examples

Extract an entire image:

$ docker save busybox | undocker -i -o busybox busybox

The `-i` option is necessary here because I am not running as root,
and the extract operation will fail when it attempts to create device
nodes.

List the layers in an image:

$ docker save busybox | undocker --list
