Yes, but note that it says "candidates", not that they will be extracted.
It does not make sense to send more than one image to stdout. Most dump
formats contain header and trailer information that isn't suitable for
catenating multiple ones together.
Put another way, "-p" wins :-). If you use it, you'll only get the first
image that matches the command line written to stdout. If you do not
use "-p", then *all* candidates that match will be written to files in
your current working directory.
