amigadepacker(1) user commands amigadepacker(1)NAMEamigadepacker - Tool for depacking some compressed Amiga formats
SYNTAXamigadepacker [-c] [-h] [-o outfile] [-p] [-v] FILE ...
DESCRIPTIONamigadepacker depacks compressed Amiga formats. PowerPacker, XPK SQSH,
MMCMP and StoneCracker 4.04 (S404) formats are supported. Amigade‐
packer will automatically determine the compressed format by content.
Among other things, the tool is useful for playing packed Amiga music
formats with uade (1).
If no files are given for the amigadepacker, the data is read from
stdin. If some files are given, it tries to unpack them inplace, i.e.
overwriting the given files with unpacked data. If a single file and
"-c" is given, unpacked data is written to stdout. If a single file and
"-o outfile" is given, unpacked data is written to file named "out".
The tool can also be used to decrypt powerpacker encrypted files. That
operation will take a few hours.
OPTIONS-c Unpack to stdout (when regular files have been given as parame‐
ters)
-h Display help
-o outfile, --output-file outfile
Write decrunched data into outfile instead of overwriting the
packed file
-p Pretend to unpack, but do not. Prints names of packed files to
stderr. Pretend mode always returns success if arguments are
valid. This is useful for searching packed files.
-v Display version information
EXAMPLES
Unpack a file:
amigadepacker foo
Unpack a file from stdin to stdout:
amigadepacker < foo > foo.depacked
Find all packed files under /path, but do not unpack anything (--pretend):
find /path/ -type f -print0 |xargs -0amigadepacker--pretend --
