BNILIST(1)

💖 BNILIST 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the BNETD User's Manual, and it's literally called bnilist — a whole little program for snooping on Battle.net icon files. yes, those icon files. it's giving backstage pass energy 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bnilist — list contents of a Battle.net icon file 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bnilist [options] [--] [bnifile]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so bnilist is a simple program that lists all the icons stored in a BNI file, plus all their attributes. no cap, every single one. 🫶

on top of that, it also shows you info from the TGA header in the exact same format that tgainfo(1) would use. same format, same vibe, iconic behavior honestly.

and bc it cares about you 💖, it runs some simple sanity checks too — just to verify the file is using the same format that the other bni utilities expect. like a little vibe check for your file. if the format is off, you'll know.

if bnifile isn't specified, or if it's specified as -, then standard input gets used instead. very demure, very flexible.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help, --usage — prints usage information and dips. that's it, that's the whole job 💅
• -v, --version — prints its version number and exits. main character announcement behavior 👑
• -- — signals the end of options. anything after this gets treated as filenames, even if it starts with a -. so if your filename is weird, this is your bestie 🌈

🎀 NOTES 🎀

the current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:

http://www.bnetd.org/

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, the purpose of some of the fields in the BNI format are not known. mystery fields. we don't know what they do and nobody's telling 😭

also — only true-color formats are currently supported. that's the whole list. no other formats, sorry bestie 🙈
