💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

phoenix_info gives information about phoenix SD card images created by the proprietary phoenixcard utility. the way it just knows what's inside those things?? main character energy fr fr. 🔥

and not just vibes — it can also be used to extract embedded boot code and firmware from their hidden partitions. hidden partitions!! it's giving little secrets, it's giving treasure hunt, it's giving detective mode activated 🕵️♀️✨

so yeah: info first, and if you need it, a little extraction situation on the side. slay.

ngl, "proprietary utility" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, but that's what the original says and we respect the source. 💜
