Command Line

SFPack supports various command line options when started. The basic command line looks like this:

SFPACK.EXE [/Switch] [Files] [Directory]

You can specify multiple options, multiple files (including wildcards) and directories. If you specify a directory, all SF2 and SFPack files from that folder will be added to the File List.

This is a brief list of all useful command line switches (switches start with a '-' or '/' character):
