🦋 wtcdbexport — the LOCAL manual, bestie 🦋

okay so this is the local man page for wtcdbexport (yes, the wtcdbexport() header energy, but make it cute). It’s all about exporting items from a Windows Explorer thumbnail cache database file, and we’re gonna get into it. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

wtcdbexport — exports items stored in a Windows Explorer thumbnail cache database (WTCDB) file. That’s the whole assignment, no cap. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wtcdbexport [-l logfile] [-t target] [-hvV] source

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

wtcdbexport is a utility to export items stored in a Windows Explorer thumbnail cache database (WTCDB) file. Literally that girl. ✨

wtcdbexport is part of the libwtcdb package. And libwtcdb is a library to access the Windows Explorer thumbnail cache database (WTCDB) format. Obsessed with the ecosystem, honestly. 🫶

source is the source file. That’s the file you’re pointing at, bestie. 🎀

🌈 the options, bestie 🌈

The options are as follows:

  • -h — shows this help. 🥺
  • -l logfile — specify the file in which to log information about the exported items. 🪵
  • -t target — specify the target directory to export to (default is the source filename followed by .export). 🎯
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. 🗣️
  • -V — print version. 🏷️

🌱 ENVIRONMENT 🌱

None. That’s it. No environment variables are doing anything here, bestie. 🫶

📁 FILES 📁

None. Zero files listed. Iconic minimalism. ✨

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Okay so here’s the example, exactly as it goes:

# wtcdbexport thumbcache_32.db
wtcdbexport 20101023

Opening file.
Exporting aliases.
Processing alias 1 out of 1.
      ...
Exporting alias 4 out of 4.
Export completed.

🩺 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 yeah, no sneaky extra chatter unless the build said so. 💀
