# vcpkg_extract_source_archive
The latest version of this document lives in the [vcpkg repo](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/maintainers/vcpkg_extract_source_archive.md).
Extract an archive into the source directory. Deprecated in favor of [`vcpkg_extract_source_archive_ex`](vcpkg_extract_source_archive_ex.md).
## Usage
```cmake
vcpkg_extract_source_archive(
<${ARCHIVE}> [<${TARGET_DIRECTORY}>]
)
```
## Parameters
### ARCHIVE
The full path to the archive to be extracted.
This is usually obtained from calling [`vcpkg_download_distfile`](vcpkg_download_distfile.md).
### TARGET_DIRECTORY
If specified, the archive will be extracted into the target directory instead of `${CURRENT_BUILDTREES_DIR}/src/`.
This can be used to mimic git submodules, by extracting into a subdirectory of another archive.
## Notes
This command will also create a tracking file named <FILENAME>.extracted in the TARGET_DIRECTORY. This file, when present, will suppress the extraction of the archive.
## Examples
* [libraw](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/libraw/portfile.cmake)
* [protobuf](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/protobuf/portfile.cmake)
* [msgpack](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/msgpack/portfile.cmake)
