|
|
7. pzz the decompressed folder

## User manual
|
|
unpzz **source.pzz** in the default new folder _source_.
|
|
If optional_dest_folder is specified we unpack in _optional_dest_folder_.
|
|
unpzz handle auto-decompress of all files extracted.
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -unpzz source.pzz optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
pzz **source_folder** in the default new pzz file _source_folder.pzz_.
|
|
If optional_dest.pzz is specified we pzz in _optional_dest.pzz_.
|
|
pzz handle auto-compress / auto-decompress of all files extracted from the pzz according to their initial states in the pzz.
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -pzz source_folder optional_dest.pzz
|
|
```
|
|
unpzz every pzz files present in _source_folder_ using the same directory.
|
|
For each pzz a folder is created using the name of the pzz.
|
|
If optional_dest_folder is specified we unpzz all files in _optional_dest_folder_ instead of source_folder.
|
|
The batch pzz command could be very time consuming (1h30 for whole pzz in afs_data).
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -bunpzz source_folder optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
pzz every folder present in _source_folder_ using the same directory.
|
|
For each folder a pzz file is created using the name of the pzz.
|
|
If optional_dest_folder is specified we pzz all folders in _optional_dest_folder_ instead of source_folder.
|
|
The batch pzz command could be very time consuming (1h30 for whole pzz in afs_data).
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -bpzz source_folder optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
Unpack **source.pzz** in the default new folder _source_.
|
|
If optional_dest_folder is specified we unpack in _optional_dest_folder_.
|
|
This is faster than unpzz but compression must be handled by user after the unpack.
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -u source.pzz optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
Pack **source_folder** in the default new pzz file _source_folder.pzz_.
|
|
If optional_dest.pzz is specified we pack in _optional_dest.pzz_.
|
|
This is faster than pzz but compression must be handled by user before the pack.
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -p source_folder optional_dest.pzz
|
|
```
|
|
Unpack every pzz files present in _source_folder_ using the same directory.
|
|
For each pzz a folder is created using the name of the pzz.
|
|
If optional_dest_folder is specified we unpack all files in _optional_dest_folder_ instead of source_folder.
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -bu source_folder optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
Pack every folder present in _source_folder_ using the same directory.
|
|
For each folder a pzz file is created using the name of the pzz.
|
|
If optional_dest_folder is specified we pack all folders in _optional_dest_folder_ instead of source_folder.
|
|
```
|
|
pzztool.py -bp source_folder optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Extracted files format
|
|
Every file extracted has a name using the format:
|
|
|
|
AAAB_CD.D
|
|
- **AAA** is the 3 digits index of the file in the PZZ starting at 000.
|
|
- **B** describe the compression state of the file when packed in the PZZ. If compressed it's **C** and if not it's **U**.
|
|
- **C** is the name of the PZZ.
|
|
- **D** is the resolved name and extension of the file. If the file is compressed it use the **.pzzp** (PZZ Part) extension and if the file is uncompressed by default it's **.dat**
|
|
|
|
For example file **012C_cmn_data.dat** describe:
|
|
- the 13th file off the pzz,
|
|
- initialy compressed,
|
|
- in a pzz named "cmn_data.pzz",
|
|
- that has been uncompressed,
|
|
- with the default format "dat".
|
|
|
|
The names of unpacked files and the presence of empty unpacked files are important to keep informations relative to the initial pzz and ensure a correct pack.
