extract_mohawk(6)

💖 extract_mohawk — the Games Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about extract_mohawk, a whole icon living in section 6 of the manual (yes, that's the Games Manual, we're in the fun part of the library) 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

extract_mohawk — the Mohawk archive extraction tool, no cap 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

extract_mohawk [--raw|--convert] [--ftindex|--no-ftindex]
[--ftflags|--no-ftflags] <mohawk archive> [<tag id>]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so extract_mohawk does exactly what it says on the tin: it extracts the resources that are chillin' inside a Mohawk archive. that's the whole vibe. 💅

and if you're like "bestie what is a Mohawk archive", okay so — Mohawk archives are what the Brøderbund Mohawk engine uses, and that engine powers games like Myst, Riven, the Living Books series, the Carmen Sandiego series... basically a whole hall of fame, we stan. 🌈⭐

and here's the cute part: if you pass a tag id, it only extracts the resources that match. selective. main character energy. filtering is self-care, fr fr. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --raw — dumps resources as raw binary dumps. this is the default setting, so if you do nothing, this is what you get. lowkey the lazy-girl option and honestly? valid. 💖
• --convert — converts resources where possible. "where possible" is doing a lot of work in that sentence but okay, when it can, it does. 🔥
• --ftindex — prepends the file table index to the extracted resource names. this is the default setting. so yes, you get the numbers in the filenames whether you asked or not 🙈
• --no-ftindex — does not prepend the file table index to the extracted resource names. finally, names that are just names. 🎀
• --ftflags — prepends the file table flags to the extracted resource names. also the default setting. flags, but for your filenames. ✨
• --no-ftflags — does not prepend the file table flags to the extracted resource names. clean names only, no lore attached. 💀
