Rusted Iron Ring
================
Low-level library for exploring From Software games files. Currently only
supports Dark Souls 1 (PTDE).
This project is mainly to play with the Rust language, Nom parser, FFI, etc; if
you need an actually used and tested library, see [SoulsFormats][soulsformats].
[soulsformats]: https://github.com/JKAnderson/SoulsFormats
Usage
-----
The project contains 2 artefacts:
- `ironring`, a library with all the parsing/unpacking features implemented.
- `rir`, an executable to use main lib features from the CLI.
The goal is to make the lib compatible with FFI tools such as Python's ctypes,
to ship a dynamic lib accessible for any language to easily script tasks and
ideas, but we're not there yet.
Ironring usage:

USAGE:
rir [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
SUBCOMMANDS:
bhd Extracts BHD/BDT contents
bhds Extracts all BHD/BDT content (alphabetically) in a folder
bhf Extracts BHF/BDT contents
bnd Extracts BND contents
dcx Extracts and decompress DCX data
hash Calculates hash for a string
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
param Parses PARAM contents
paramdef Prints PARAMDEF contents
```
Features
--------
### Containers
- BHD5 / BDT: extraction from disk to disk.
- DCX: decompression from disk to disk/memory.
- BND (v3): extraction from disk/memory to disk/memory, optionally decompress
from DCX.
- BHF (v3): extraction from disk/memory to disk/memory.
Repacking is not supported, maybe one day. It is not that useful when using
[UDSFM][udsfm] and [Yabber][yabber], but if you really need it you can check out
[SiegLib][sieglib].

### Files
- PARAMDEF: parsing
- PARAM: parsing, optionally with a PARAMDEF
### Misc
- Encrypted archive name hasher.
There is a demo Python binding for some `name_hashes` features in the
`bindings/python` dir, that uses [PyO3][pyo3] and thus requires nightly rustc to
build.
