ENJARIFY(1)

💖 ENJARIFY 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the enjarify manual page, section 1 of the User's Supplementary Documents 🎀 she translates Dalvik to Java bytecode and she ate, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

enjarify — translate Dalvik to Java bytecode 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enjarify [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-f] [--fast] inputfile

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe 💅 Android applications (.apk) contain Java classes compiled in bytecode for the Dalvik VM, and those classes usually live inside the file classes.dex. literally the whole squad is in there.

and like… to allow analyzing those files, they have to be translated back to normal Java bytecode. that's the entire job. that's the mission. enjarify does the glow-up and hands you back something a normal Java toolchain can actually read 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — Display brief usage information. quick lil "what do I even type" moment 🙈
• -o, --output OUTPUT — The output file (.jar). Default: [input-filename]-enjarify.jar — so if you don't say where it goes, it just picks a name for itself, main character energy fr.
• -f, --force — Force overwriting the specified output file if it already exists. no chill, it will simply replace what's there — so be sure that's what you want 💀
• --fast — Disable optimizations that produce more readable bytecode, which speeds up the conversion. so like… faster but the output is less pretty. a tradeoff, a lil sacrifice 🏃♀️✨
• inputfile — The input file (.dex or .apk). If a multidex apk is specified, all dex files will be translated into a single .jar file. yes bestie, ALL of them, into ONE jar. we love a merge 🫶

✨ NOTES ✨

Optional metadata like source file attributes, line numbers and annotations are currently not translated. like, at all. not yet. so don't come for her about it 😭

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅

this beauty lives on Linux and she was last updated August 26, 2015 — yeah she's an elder icon but she still slays 🌸 stay hydrated, back up your files, and go translate something 🎀💖
