This is useful for getting properly sized (but empty) image files when
unpacking delta payloads.

 This subcommand unpacks the payload header information to `payload.toml` and the partition images to the `payload_images` directory.
 
-Only full payload binaries can be unpacked. Delta payload binaries from incremental OTAs are not supported.
+Data can only be unpacked from full payload binaries. For delta payloads, either use `--no-output-images` to skip image extraction or use `--skeleton` to create properly sized sparse files with no data.
