✨ NAME ✨

nspark-sqsh — bestie, this is the girl who decompresses RISC OS Squash files 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nspark-sqsh [options] file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so real talk: nspark-sqsh unpacks files that were created by the RISC OS Squash utility. That's literally it, that's her whole job, and she eats every single time 🔥

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -c — Decompress to stdout. So instead of yeeting the output into a file, she just sends it straight to stdout, no cap ✨
  • -f — Force file overwrite if a file already exists with the same name as the one being extracted. Iconic, but also a little unhinged 🫶

And listen, if you're not using -f, she's not just gonna bulldoze your stuff — she's polite like that. You get prompted and asked whether you want to:

  1. overwrite the original,
  2. skip this file,
  3. give it a different name, or
  4. overwrite this and all others that already exist.

Main character energy tbh 👑

  • -s — No filestamp. Does not set the timestamp when extracting files. So the files come out timestamp-less, which is a vibe but a very specific one 🌈

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

💀 heads up bestie: if a file with the same name already exists and you didn't pass -f, you're getting interrogated. Choose wisely 🙈
