what do you mean by extract? Access the header field from a message? For example you can create a PoseStamped message from geometry_msgs with:

geometry_msgs::msg::PoseStamped pose;

Then you can access the stamp or frame_id with pose.header.stamp and pose.header.frame_id Note that (sequence )seq is removed from the header in ROS2
