KPACK(1)

# NAME

kpack - KnightOS cross packaging tool

# SYNOPSIS

*kpack* [options] _package_ _model_

# DESCRIPTION

Packages (or unpackages) KnightOS package archives from files on disk. You must
include a package config (_package.config_ by default) which will be read for
metadata. The _model_ directory is the root of the filesystem the package files
should be extracted to.

# OPTIONS

*-e, \--extract*
	Extracts _package_ to _model_ instead of creating a package from _model_.

*-c, \--config* <config>
	Specifies an alternate config file.

*-i, \--info*
	Instead of packing or unpacking, instead list metadata included in the
	package.

*-x, \--compressor* <compressor>
	Specifies the compressor to use. Valid options are "pucrunch", "rle", and
	"none". The default is pucrunch.

*-s, \--stubs*
	Instructs kpack, when extracting packages, to create a package stub for the
	extracted package. Specifying -s will also instruct kpack to omit the /include
	directory when extracting the package.

*-k, \--sum* <checksum>
	Specifies a checksum algorithm to use. Valid options are "crc16", "sha1",
	"md5", and "none". The default is "crc16".

# CONFIGURATION

See *kpack*(5)

# EXAMPLES

*kpack castle.pkg ./temp*
	Reads metadata from _packages.config_ and packages ./temp into castle.pkg.
