This command supports extracting files from an initramfs image. It is
designed to be a drop-in for cpio wherever an initramfs may be present.
It is implemented using the code from lsinitramfs, which now delegates
to uninitramfs instead of cpio.

lsinitramfs does now support the common case of a multi-segment
initramfs, but not arbitrary concatenations.

lsinitramfs cannot deal with a multi-segmented initramfs archive, such
as one with an uncompressed early initramfs prepended to the main
compressed initramfs. Document this in the manpage.
The kernel will parse all cpio archives it can find in the initramfs in
sequence, and it doesn't care if some of them are compressed and others
are not.

useful script to quickly look into initramfs for debugger
or bug reporter, inspired by similar dracut tool.
