SYNOPSIS
========
mediaextract [*-options*] *filename* [*filename* ...]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**mediaextract** extracts known media types such as RIFF, Ogg, etc,
from various 'resource' or 'archive' format files. files. It works
by looking for 'magic' byte sequences (like the **file\(1)** command
does). A typical use case would be extracting resources from a
game. **mediaextract** does not support compression (zip/rar/7z/etc), so
uncompress the file first, if necessary.
OPTIONS
=======
-h, --help
Print this help message.
-q, --quiet
Do not print status messages.
-s, --simulate
Don't write any output files.
-o, --output=DIR
Directory where extracted files should be written. (default: ".")
-a, --filename=FORMAT
Format string for the file names. (default: "{filename}_{offset}.{ext}")
Supported variables:
filename
Filename of the extracted archive.
offset
Offset within the archive, in hexadecimal.
index
0-based index of the extracted file in decimal.
size
Size of the extracted file in decimal.
ext
Extension associated with the filetype of the extracted file.
-i, --offset=OFFSET
Start processing at byte OFFSET. (default: 0)
-n, --length=LENGTH
Only process LENGTH bytes. (default and maximum: 8 EB)
-m, --min-size=SIZE
Minumum size of extracted files (skip smaller). (default: 0)
-x, --max-size=SIZE
Maximum size of extracted files (skip larger). Default and maximum: 16 EB.
The last character of OFFSET, LENGTH and SIZE may be one of the following:
* B (or none) for Bytes
* k for Kilobytes (units of 1024 Bytes)
* M for Megabytes (units of 1024 Kilobytes)
* G for Gigabytes (units of 1024 Megabytes)
* T for Terabytes (units of 1024 Gigabytes)
* P for Petabytes (units of 1024 Terabytes)
* E for Exabytes (units of 1024 Petabytes)
The special value "max" selects the maximum alowed value.
-f, --formats=FORMATS

If '-' is written before a format name, that format will be removed
from the set of formats to extract. E.g. extract everything except
tracker files::
mediaextract --formats=all,-tracker data.bin
*[1]* WARNING: Because MP1/2/3 files do not have a nice file magic, using
the 'mpg123' format may cause *a lot* of false positives. Nowadays
MP3 files usually have an ID3v2 tag at the start, so using the 'id3v2'
format is the better option anyway.
The detection accuracy of MOD files is not much better and of MPEG TS
it is even worse and thus the 'mpg123', 'mpegts' and 'mod' formats are
per default disabled.
*[2]* NOTE: When using only the 'mpg123' format but not 'id3v2', any ID3v2
tag will be stripped. ID3v1 tags will still be kept.
EXAMPLES
========
Extract .wav, .aif and .ogg (might actually be .ogg, .opus or .ogm) files from
the file **data.bin** and store them in the **~/Music** directory::
mediaextract -f riff,aiff,ogg -o ~/Music data.bin
This will then write files like such into **~/Music**::
data.bin_00000000.ogg
data.bin_00FFB2E3.wav
data.bin_01F3CD45.aif
The hexadecimal number in the written file names gives the offset where the audio
file was found, within the data file.
Extract .mp3, .mp2 and .mp1 files (with or without ID3v2 tags). The **mpg123**
option yields a lot of false positives because there is no nice way to
unambigiously detect MPEG files. These false positives are however usually very
small, so using the **--min-size** option one can hopefully extract only real MPEG
files::
mediaextract -f id3v2,mpg123 --min-size=100k -o ~/Music data.bin
