NAME
xfdDecrunch 1.02
SYNOPSIS
xfdDecrunch SOURCE/A,DEST,ALL/S,FORCE/S,CLONE/S,NODIRS/S,
NOASK/S,LS=LINKSIMPLE/S,LP=LINKPRO/S
DESCRIPTION
xfdDecrunch unpacks crunched files.
Kickstart V37+ is required.
SOURCE specifies the file(s) that should be decrunched.
Wildcards of any kind are supported.
DEST is the file/drawer to save the result to.
If SOURCE contains wildcards/is a drawer, DEST must be
a directory. If it doesn't exist, it will be created.
If SOURCE is a single file, DEST can be an existing
directory or a (new) filename. In the first case, the
old filename will be used in the new directory.
Without DEST, the old files will be overwritten.
ALL makes xfdDecrunch go through all subdirectories
that exist in SOURCE. Note that these drawers are
created in the same order in the DEST directory.
If there exists a file with the name of a drawer to be
created, files will be written to the parent drawer.
If NODIRS is given, no subdirectories will be created
and files from all drawers will be written to DEST.
If DEST already exists, you will be asked if you want
to overwrite the file. With FORCE, this request will
be skipped.
With CLONE, the decrunched files receive the same
comments, creation dates and protection bits as the
source files.
Usually, when an error occurs while decrunching a file,
xfdDecrunch asks if you want to continue with the next
files or quit. With NOASK specified, this request will
be skipped and decrunching continues automatically.
With files that are crunched with an absolute address
cruncher, you have two additional options: LINKSIMPLE
and LINKPRO. The first one links a quite simple header
to the decrunched data that simply copies the file to
the required location and executes it. The second
header is more complex. It tries to allocate the wanted
memory area and works with overlays thus not needing
any memory at all before allocating the desired area.
This is absolutely system-friendly and should work
even on machines with less RAM.
EXAMPLES
Shell> xfdDecrunch DH0:C/#?
Decrunches all files in DH0:C.
Shell> xfdDecrunch DF0:#? DH0:Temp ALL CLONE
Decrunches all files on DF0: and saves them
with the original attributes to DH0:Temp.
Shell> xfdDecrunch DF2:Test DF1:Test FORCE
Decrunches DF2:Test and overwrites DF1:Test
without asking the user.
HISTORY
xfdDecrunch 1.02
- Totally removed arp.library and Kick 1.3 support.
It was impossible to implement all OS 2 features.
- xfdDecrunch now creates the same drawer hierarchy
in the destination drawer as given in the source
drawer (with ALL option).
- Source and destination lengths are printed now.
- Added NODIRS and NOASK options.
- Added LINKSIMPLE and LINKPRO options.
xfdDecrunch 1.01
- Fixed bug in CLONE routine. SetFileDate() has been
called on Kick 1.3, but it's not available there!
- Changed some internal stuff for the documented
release of xfdmaster.library 33.2.
xfdDecrunch 1.00
- First public release.
