We're trying to run POTX for many separate projects. Ideally we'd run POTX in a similar fashion as was possible in 7.x-1.x (using a simple php cli invocation) however this seems no longer feasible with the requirements for Drupal 8. It would be very useful if POTX doesn't need to be installed in the project that is being analysed.
This is almost possible using something like this drush -r /potx/site/install potx single --api 8 --folder /project/to/extract/from however this will still put the file in /potx/site/install which makes automation a bit more difficult.
Introduce an --outfile flag for the single mode or an --out flag for the multiple file mode that specifies a file and directory respectively to be able to control where output is created.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
The happy path works as expected, but if the directory creation fails, follow-up errors will occur.
Throwing an exception could help users more with the actual issue.
if (!file_exists($destination) && !mkdir($destination, 0755, TRUE) && !is_dir($destination)) {
throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf('Directory "%s" was not created', $destination));
}
Test call: drush potx --destination=/tm/p --folder=/var/www/html/web/core/modules/action
