If you want to take everything out of a container, you can use the

This may be your only way to get things out if your hands are stuck
to a cursed two-handed weapon.
When your hands aren't stuck, you have another option of pouring the
conteints into another container.
(As of this writing, the other container must be carried rather than on
the floor.)
