Unpacking XIP files on Linux:

1. Install xar from https://mackyle.github.io/xar/
2. Install pbzx from https://github.com/NiklasRosenstein/pbzx (use gcc -llzma -lxar -I /usr/local/include pbzx.c -o pbzx and copy the binary into your PATH)
3. use xar -xf XIP_FILE -C /path/to/extract/to
4. Change to the directory where you extracted the file.
5. Use pbzx -n Content | cpio -i to extract the contents.

sudo ldconfig # after installing xar
gcc pbzx.c -o pbzx -llzma -lxar
