I'm working on something and was wondering if vma extract output can be piped. Right now I'm looking at piping to rsync (that could change later).

Thanks.
 
'vma extract' puts out a directory tree, how would you pipe that into something else? Best you can do is create a temporary directory and go from there.

That's why I asked. I couldn't find or think of a way to pipe the output or have it overwrite an existing folder/file. Thought maybe I was missing something so I asked here to see.

I mean, I found out about a flag (or option, idk) that wasn't listed in the MAN page so you never know.
