✨ msiextract — like, the NAME part ✨

msiextract — bestie, it extracts the files contained in Windows Installer packages 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

msiextract [<option> [<option> ...]] <MSI file>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got a Windows Installer package, right? A .MSI file. And you want what's inside it. That's literally the whole job. msiextract extracts the files contained in Windows Installer packages (.MSI files). No cap. That's it. That's the function. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -C, --directory <directory> — extract to the given directory. You're telling it where to dump the goods. directory is the spot. 📁
  • -l, --list — list the files only. Just show me the roster, don't actually unpack anything. The vibe check, not the whole party. 🧚
  • -h, --help — print a help message and exit. Classic. 🙈
  • --version — print version information and exit. ✨
Not me noticing this lil note: more than one of -t, -s or -S may be specified. Yeah bestie, that's in the original, so it's staying. 🫶
