OLECFINFO(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to olecfinfo(1) 💖 — this little icon determines information about a Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File (CF). yes the acronym is a mouthful, no we're not changing it, it's iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

olecfinfo [-c codepage] [-ahvV] source

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

olecfinfo is a utility to determine information about a Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File (CF). literally its whole job. it looks at the file, it tells you things. main character behavior fr fr.

olecfinfo is part of the libolecf package. and what is libolecf, you ask? it's a library to access the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Compound File (CF) format. that's the vibe. 💅

source is the source file. that's the thing you're pointing it at. periodt.

The options are as follows:

• -a — shows allocation information ✨
• -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
• -h — shows this help 🙈
• -v — verbose output to stderr
• -V — print version 👑

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None. not a single one. the environment is doing absolutely nothing here and honestly? respect. 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

None. nada. zero files touched. clean girl aesthetic.

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

       # olecfinfo WordDocument.doc
       olecfinfo 20131012

       OLE Compound File information:
               Version                 : 3.62
               Sector size             : 512
               Short sector size       : 64

       Storage and stream items:
       Root Entry (768 bytes)
         1Table (42656 bytes)
         WordDocument (4096 bytes)
         5SummaryInformation (4096 bytes)
         5DocumentSummaryInformation (4096 bytes)
         1CompObj (114 bytes)

       Summary information:
             ...

look at all that output. Version : 3.62, Sector size : 512, Short sector size : 64 — she's giving structure, she's giving detail, she's giving everything. and the storage and stream items tree?? Root Entry (768 bytes) holding court with 1Table (42656 bytes), WordDocument (4096 bytes), 5SummaryInformation (4096 bytes), 5DocumentSummaryInformation (4096 bytes) and 1CompObj (114 bytes) underneath. obsessed. 😭💖

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. but — and this is the plot twist — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you built it without that, no amount of -v is gonna summon them. iykyk.
