ARCHMAGE(1)

📦 version 0.4.2.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🌸 NAME 🌸

archmage — a CHM (Compiled HTML) decompressor. it takes those dusty lil .chm files and frees them, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

archmage chmfile directory

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so first things first, this page is literally just a lil baby intro to the archmage command, no cap. and it exists at all because this is the Debian distribution, and the original program? yeah, it did not ship a manual page. not one. so we made one. you're welcome 🫶

so arCHMage is an extensible reader and decompiler for files in the CHM format. that's the format Microsoft HTML Help uses — you might also hear it called Compiled HTML 🌈. and the whole thing is built on the python-chm binding to chmlib, which came from the GnoCHM project. iconic lineage honestly ✨

🎀 USAGE 🎀

extract a .chm into a directory — and yes, the directory gets created for you, she's thoughtful like that 💖:

archmage <chmfile> <directory>
