title: Extract .xip file into a folder from command line?
body: <p>Apple occasionally uses a proprietary <strong>XIP</strong> file format, particularly when distributing versions of Xcode. It is an analog to zip, but is signed, allowing it to verified on the receiving system. When a <strong>XIP</strong> file is opened (by double-clicking), Archive Utility will expand it, but only if the digital signature is intact.</p>
  <p>Does anyone know how to extract a <strong>XIP</strong> file from the Terminal command line to a specific folder? Is there any way to unarchive this type of file if the signature is invalid?</p>
