DJVUEXTRACT(1)

💖 NAME 💖

djvuextract — the girl who pulls chunks out of DjVu image files, fr fr 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

djvuextract [-page=pagenum] djvufile [chkid=filename]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, listen. djvuextract is a program that extracts raw chunk data from a DjVu file, and that file is the one you hand it as djvufile. that's the whole vibe. 💅

and then?? the chunks it pulls out can be re-assembled right back into DjVu files using another program called djvumake. it's giving teamwork, it's giving collaborative, it's giving the girls supporting the girls 🫶

the option -page lets you pick a specific page, so if you're like "not that page, this page" you can say so. otherwise, the program just assumes the first page of the document, no questions asked. main character page energy, honestly. 👑

now the rest of the arguments — every remaining one — specifies that the raw data associated with all the chunks named chkid gets concatenated into the file named filename. concatenated!! all of them!! together!! 🎀

but wait, there's a lil plot twist 🙈 — chunks named BG44 and FG44 are handled slightly differently. for those two, the program generates legal IW44 files instead of just simply saving the raw data. so don't be shocked when those two act different from the rest, they're just built like that. no cap.

lowkey if you want the related info, go read the man page djvumake(1), it's the sister page and they're literally obsessed with each other 💜
