✨ olecfexport(1) — the local manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so. welcome to olecfexport(1), a lil local manual page that is genuinely about to change ur whole file-extraction life. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

🌸 NAME 🌸

olecfexport — exports items stored in a Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File (CF)

like. that's the whole job. it exports the items. out of the OLE CF. no cap. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

olecfexport [-c codepage] [-f format] [-l logfile] [-m mode] [-t target]
            [-dhqvV] source

look at her. one source and a whole lil pile of flags. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

olecfexport is a utility to export items stored in a Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File (CF).

olecfexport is part of the libolecf package. libolecf is a library to access the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File (CF) format.

source is the source file. that's ur input, the thing ur pointing her at. 🫶

the options are as follows (and yes we're going through every single one, i am not skipping a crumb):

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c codepage — specify the codepage of ASCII strings. options: ascii, windows-874, windows-932, windows-936, windows-949, windows-950, windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252 (default), windows-1253, windows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or windows-1258. that is a LOT of windows and i respect every one of them 🪟
  • -d — dumps the item values in a separate file: ItemValues.txt. it's giving "here's the receipts, in a whole other document" 💀
  • -f format — specify the preferred output format. options: all, html, rtf, text (default). text girlies rise 🌈
  • -h — shows this help. hi hello how are u, here's the help 🎀
  • -l logfile — specify the file in which to log information about the exported items. so u can remember what happened. main character journaling energy fr fr
  • -m mode — export mode. option: all, debug, items (default), recovered.
    • 'all' exports the (allocated) items, orphan and recovered items.
    • 'debug' exports all the (allocated) items, also those outside the the root folder.
    • 'items' exports the (allocated) items.
    • 'recovered' exports the orphan and recovered items.

(yes the original says "the the", and yes i am keeping it, that's canon now 💅)

  • -q — quiet. shows minimal status information. she's not chatting, she's working 🤫
  • -t target — specify the basename of the target directory to export to (default is the source filename followed by .export). so like, ur lil output home 🏠
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. she's telling u EVERYTHING 🔥
  • -V — print version. pop off, version number 🦋

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None. literally none. nothing to see here, no environment variables, zero, nada, empty. it's giving minimalism ✨

🧚 FILES 🧚

None. also none. she needs no files of her own. independent queen 💜

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

okay so here's the example, verbatim, character for character, because facts do not change even when the vibe does:

# olecfexport file.doc
olecfexport 20101027

      ...

there she is. doing the thing. slay. 🎀

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if ur not seeing the verbose stuff, it might just not be compiled in — not u doing anything wrong, bestie, promise 🙈

please report bugs of any kind to <joachim.metz@gmail.com> or on the project website: https://github.com/libyal/libolecf/
