💖 sccainfo — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the LOCAL manual for sccainfo 🎀 she's a whole utility whose entire job is determining information about a Windows Prefetch File (PF). that's it. that's the gig. she sleuths. she reports. she slays. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sccainfo [-ahvV] source

like, that's the whole summoning ritual. one source, four lil flags, go off. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so sccainfo is a utility that determines information about a Windows Prefetch File (PF). no cap. you point her at a PF and she tells you things. 🔍

she's part of the libscca package, and libscca is a library to access the Windows Prefetch File (PF) format. so like, she's not out here alone — she's got a whole library backing her up, main character energy fr fr. 👑

and source is the source file. that's the file you're feeding her. simple. iconic. 🌟

The options are as follows:

  • -a — shows allocation information ✨ (the receipts, the layout, the where-things-live)
  • -h — shows this help 🫶 (hey bestie, here's how to use me)
  • -v — verbose output to stderr 📢 (she gets chatty)
  • -V — print version 🎀 (identity check, she's telling you her era)

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None

literally nothing. she needs no environment variables. she's low maintenance. self-sufficient queen. 💅

🍓 FILES 🍓

None

no config files, no dotfiles, no drama. nothing to maintain. we love a low-overhead icon. ✨

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

here's the vibe, bestie:

# sccainfo CMD.EXE-4A81B364.pf
sccainfo 20110704

Windows Prefetch File (PF) information:
        ...

see how she printed sccainfo 20110704 and then went into Windows Prefetch File (PF) information:? yeah. that's her announcing herself and then dumping the goods. 💖

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

okay so errors, verbose output and debug output all get printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. 🫶

important caveat bestie: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you didn't build her with that on, -v can't manifest it out of thin air. no cap. 😭

💀 BUGS 💀

like, genuinely, any kind. don't be shy. she wants to know. 🙈
