💖 kpack(1) — the KnightOS cross packaging tool 💖

okay so real talk, bestie, this is kpack, from the General Commands Manual girlies — it's the KnightOS cross packaging tool and honestly it's giving main character energy for your package archives ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

kpack — the KnightOS cross packaging tool, here to pack and unpack your package archives 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kpack [options] package model

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she actually do? She packages (or unpackages, she's versatile like that 💅) KnightOS package archives from files on disk. Iconic.

You must include a package config (default is package.config) — she reads it for metadata, no cap. And the model directory? That's the root of the filesystem the package files should be extracted to. Think of it as the vibe check destination for all your files 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -e, --extract — flips the whole thing: extracts the package into model instead of creating a package from model. Choose your fighter 🫶
  • -c, --config <config> — lets you point at an alternate config file if the default one isn't your fave 💖
  • -i, --info — she's not packing, she's not unpacking, she's just listing the metadata included in the package. Just reading, respectfully 🙈
  • -x, --compressor <compressor> — picks your compressor. Valid options are "pucrunch", "rle", and "none". Default is pucrunch ✨
  • -s, --stubs — tells kpack, when extracting packages, to create a package stub for the extracted package. Heads up though: specifying -s also makes kpack omit the /include directory when extracting. Two-for-one behaviour, iykyk 👑
  • -k, --sum <checksum> — picks your checksum algorithm. Valid options are "crc16", "sha1", "md5", and "none". Default is "crc16" ⭐

🌈 CONFIGURATION 🌈

See kpack(5) — she's got her own whole page for that, go read it bestie 💜

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

kpack castle.pkg ./temp

Reads metadata from packages.config and packages ./temp into castle.pkg. Literally so easy. Ate and left no crumbs 😭🔥
