SYNOPSIS

mstarchive OPTIONS

[-h|--help] [-v|--version version] [-o|--out-file out_file]
[-b|--bins-dir bins_dir] [-m|--mfa2-file mfa2_file]

DESCRIPTION

so the whole point, the moment, the main character energy: this lets you create a file with the MFA2 extension. and inside that new file? it contains several binary files of a given firmware, for different adapter cards. like a little friend group of binaries all living together 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per flag, no skipping, we respect the list 💅

• -h|--help — show the help message and then exit. like, peace out ✌️
• -v|--version version — the MFA2 version, and it has to be in this exact format: x.x.x no cap
• -o|--out-file out_file — the output file. this is where the magic lands 💖
• -b|--bins-dir bins_dir — the directory holding the binary files 🗂️
• -m|--mfa2-file mfa2_file — the mfa2 file you wanna parse 🔍

ngl bestie, those flags are the whole toolkit — don't go inventing new ones, the originals ate and that's that ✨
