💖 enber(1) — the glow-up page 💖

Version 0.9.28 ✨ bestie, this is the manual for enber, and yes we're doing this whole thing together, no skipping, no skimming 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

enber — take that unber XML output and turn it right back into BER 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enber [-n] [-] [input-filenames...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. enber converts the XML-formatted files that unber(1) produces back into BER format. it's literally the reverse glow-up ✨

and a single dash - means standard input, bestie. like, "read from stdin, pls" 💫

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -n — turn OFF input validation 🙈 by default enber does some basic validity checks against the XML input, so -n is the "nah, trust me" flag 💀

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Decode a BER sequence and immediately encode it right back — iconic round-trip behaviour, no cap:

unber -p filename.ber | enber - > reconstructed.ber

💜 FOOTNOTES 💜

ngl, this program does NOT attempt to perform full-fledged XML parsing. it's merely compatible with unber(1)'s output. periodt. 🎀

in particular, the XML style comments are not supported 😭

so here's the tea: a hash "#" or two dashes "--" following a whitespace is treated as a beginning of a comment line, which is ignored completely. empty lines are ignored as well 💫

The following example enber(1) input demonstrates the use of comments:

<C O="0" T="[1]" TL="2" V="2">
    <I O="2" T="[1]" TL="2" V="Indefinite">
    -- </I O="4" T="[UNIVERSAL 0]" L="4">
    # Do not terminate:
    # the absence of end-of-content octets is intentional!
</C O="6" T="[1]" L="6">

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
