+imxtract command
+================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+ imxtract addr part [dest]
+ imxtract addr uname [dest]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The imxtract command is used to extract a part of a multi-image file.
+
+Two different file formats are supported:
+
+* FIT images
+* legacy U-Boot images
+
+addr
+ Address of the multi-image file from which a part shall be extracted
+
+part
+ Index (hexadecimal) of the part of a legacy U-Boot image to be extracted
+
+uname
+ Name of the part of a FIT image to be extracted
+
+dest
+ Destination address (defaults to 0x0)
+
+The value of environment variable *verify* controls if the hashes and
+signatures of FIT images or the check sums of legacy U-Boot images are checked.
+To enable checking set *verify* to one of the values *1*, *yes*, *true*.
+(Actually only the first letter is checked disregarding the case.)
+
+To list the parts of an image the *iminfo* command can be used.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+With verify=no incorrect hashes, signatures, or check sums don't stop the
+extraction. But correct hashes are still indicated in the output
+(here: md5, sha1).
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ => setenv verify no
+ => imxtract $loadaddr kernel-1 $kernel_addr_r
+ ## Copying 'kernel-1' subimage from FIT image at 40200000 ...
+ md5+ sha1+ Loading part 0 ... OK
+ =>
+
+With verify=yes incorrect hashes, signatures, or check sums stop the extraction.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ => setenv verify yes
+ => imxtract $loadaddr kernel-1 $kernel_addr_r
+ ## Copying 'kernel-1' subimage from FIT image at 40200000 ...
+ md5 error!
+ Bad hash value for 'hash-1' hash node in 'kernel-1' image node
+ Bad Data Hash
+ =>
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The imxtract command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_XIMG=y. Support for FIT
+images requires CONFIG_FIT=y. Support for legacy U-Boot images requires
+CONFIG_LEGACY_IMAGE_FORMAT=y.
+
+Return value
+------------
+
+On success the return value $? of the command is 0 (true). On failure the
+return value is 1 (false).
