🌸 NAME 🌸

vss_strip — a program for extracting file data from a file containing VSS headers 🦋

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

vss_strip [options]

A program for extracting file data from a file containing VSS headers. This program comes with the burp backup and restore package. periodt. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so here's the whole menu, and there are literally only four things on it, we love a low-effort queen 🙈

• -i path — Input file. If -i is not given, input will be read on stdin. (yes bestie, stdin, like the classic pipe situation 🫶)
• -o path — Output file. If -o is not given, output will be read on stdout. 💜
• -p — Print VSS header info. it's giving "tell me your secrets" 🎀
• -h|-? — Print help text and exit. the two-for-one help flag combo, iconic ⭐

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

look at her go, she's so versatile 💖

vss_strip -i infile -o outfile

Takes uncompressed infile, and extracts the file data to outfile. clean, simple, ate. 🔥

zcat infile.gz | vss_strip

Takes the output of zcat as input, and outputs to stdout. the pipe is the main character here ngl 🧚
