💅 STEGOSUITE-EXTRACT — the Stegosuite Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is the STEGOSUITE-EXTRACT(1) page from the Stegosuite Manual, and it's about pulling secrets out of pictures. yes. like that. 🕵️♀️🖼️

🌸 NAME 🌸

stegosuite-extract — extracts data from an image 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stegosuite extract [-d] (-k=<key> | --keyfile=<keyfile>) <image>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this command extracts data from an image file using the key you give it. that's it, that's the whole vibe.

but listen — it will only work if two things are true:

• stegosuite was actually used to embed data into that image file in the first place
• the key you're handing over is identical to the one used during embedding

no match? no treasure. it's giving locked diary with the wrong password. 💀

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• -k, --key=<key> — the secret key used for encryption and hiding. your whole entire lock and key situation. 🔐
• --keyfile=<keyfile> — path to a file which contains the secret key. it reads its first line. so don't be putting your whole diary in there, just line one counts. 📄
• -d, --debug — shows debug information. for when you need the tea on what's happening under the hood. 🐛

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• <image> — path to the image file to process. the pic you're cracking open. 🌸

👑 EXAMPLE 👑

stegosuite extract -k my_secret_key /path/to/image_file.png

look at her go. iconic. ⭐

💀 EXIT CODES 💀

• 0 — successful program execution. we ate and left no crumbs. 🎉
• 1 — internal software error: an exception occurred when invoking the business logic of this command. not us, it's the code. 😭
• 2 — usage error: user input for the command was incorrect, e.g., the wrong number of arguments. you typed it wrong bestie, it happens to the best of us. 🙈

lowkey reminder: if your key doesn't match the embedding key, nothing comes out. that's not a bug, that's the whole point. no cap. 🫶
