The following table lists the arguments to be specified with DumpSISTool.

Arguments	Description

`filename.sis`	Specifies the name of the SIS file.

Arguments

Description

-d directory

Specifies the directory to which the files are extracted. The directory is created if it does not exist.

By default, files are extracted to a directory with the same name as the SIS file.

filename.sis

Specifies the name of the SIS file.

Notes:

The source-filenames specified in the original package file are not stored in the SIS file, therefore DumpSIS creates new filenames for the extracted files.
DumpSIS does not reinstate timestamps.
If the SIS file is signed, you can display and strip the signatures with SignSIS. DumpSIS does not preserve or display any signing information.
CreateSIS can be run on the resultant files to recreate the SIS file.
