sarc 1.0.1

Nintendo SARC archive reader and writer

Nintendo SARC archive reader and writer

List files in an archive

sarc list ARCHIVE

Extract an archive

sarc extract ARCHIVE

Create an archive

sarc create [--be] FILES_TO_ADD  DEST_SARC

You can give it directories too, in which case the entire directory will be added to the archive recursively.

Pass --be (shorthand: -b) if you want sarc to use big endian mode (for the Wii U).

An important option is --base-path. This option lets you remove parts of the path. For example, if you pass a path like Mods/BotW/System/Version.txt, you will likely want to pass --base-path Mods/BotW to get rid of the leading components.

If only a single directory is passed, the base path is set for you automatically.

So typical usage example:

sarc create  ~/botw/Bootup/  ~/botw/ModifiedBootup.pack

Update an archive

sarc update  FILES_TO_ADD  SARC_TO_MODIFY

This is almost identical to create.

By default, sarc will keep the endianness of the original archive. You can override this with --endian {le,be} (le for little and be for big endian).

Delete files from an archive

sarc delete  FILES_TO_DELETE  SARC_TO_MODIFY

Nothing much to say here. Just keep in mind FILES_TO_DELETE takes archive paths (those that are printed by list).
