More information.

Scan a binary file:

Extract files from a binary, specifying the output directory:

binwalk --extract --directory {output_directory} {path/to/binary}

Recursively extract files from a binary limiting the recursion depth to 2:

binwalk --extract --matryoshka --depth {2} {path/to/binary}

Extract files from a binary with the specified file signature:

binwalk --dd '{png image:png}' {path/to/binary}

Analyze the entropy of a binary, saving the plot with the same name as the binary and `.png` extension appended:
