hello there!
I want to extract an .iso file of plan9 operating system in Inferno system. Is there any command to do so?

% lookman cd-rom
man 4 dossrv # dossrv(4)
It's not actual extraction, but you can read & copy the files.

it *is* extraction, on a per-file basis and on demand :)

9660srv is the command you need from the Inferno dossrv(4) page.

You made me think for a moment. :) ISO-9660 images aren't compressed, so it's not extraction any more than any other disk-backed fileserver of Inferno or Plan 9. The read process is the same: find the region containing the desired data & copy it to the client. Just one of the wonders of Plan 9 & Inferno, or indeed any very clean design.
Of course, from a certain point of view, I'm sure any file read could be considered extraction. ;)
