GSF(1)

💖 GSF(1) — the group chat guide 💖

okay bestie, so this is gsf, from the GNOME manual pages (section 1, iykyk), and it's literally the cutest little archiving tool. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gsf</puruple> — an archiving utility using the G Structured File library 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gsf [OPTION...] SUBCOMMAND ARCHIVE...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options, then a subcommand, then one or more archives. slay 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ngl, this manual page is a brief one — it just documents the gsf command, that's the whole assignment. 🫶

gsf is a simple archive utility, lowkey similar to tar(1). the way it works is: it operates on files that follow one of the structured file formats understood by the G Structured File library. for example — and this is the iconic one — Microsoft Excel(TM) files. ✨

so yeah. it's giving tar energy, but make it spreadsheet-compatible. periodt. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🎀 Options

• -?, --help — show help options. the "help me bestie" button 🙈
• -v, --version — display gsf's version. the "who even am I" button 🌈

🦋 Subcommands

• cat — output one or more files in archive 🐱
• dump — dump one or more files in archive as formatted hexadecimal 🔥
• help — list subcommands 📋
• list — list files in archive 🗂️
• props — archive list of property names 🏷️

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

wanna list the content structure of a Microsoft Excel(TM) file called arrays.xls? okay so literally just:

gsf list arrays.xls

and wanna dump Workbook, which is an individual data stream inside arrays.xls? no cap, it's just:

gsf dump arrays.xls Workbook

see? main character energy, zero effort. 💅✨
