## Parsing png and ttf
## Download lib and parse binary
## Prerequisite
1. `nushell`, It's a nushell plugin, so you need it.
2. `python3.6+`
## Usage
1. register the plugin to nushell
```
register nu_plugin_bin_reader.py
```
It will introduce a new command: `from-binary`. So you can play with it
You can just do it once.
2. fetch libs
There is `fetcher.nu` to help you download binary reader. You can do something like this:
```
> use fetcher.nu
> fetcher fetch-lib png
```
It will download "png" binary parser for you.
3. parse relative binary file
Take `png` file as example, you can do the following to get `capture.png` information.
```
open capture.png | from-binary png
```
Then it will output the following:
```
╭───────────┬───────────────────────────────────╮
│ magic │ [137, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10] │
│ ihdr_len │ 13 │
│ ihdr_type │ [73, 72, 68, 82] │
│ ihdr │ {record 7 fields} │
│ ihdr_crc │ [179, 17, 228, 177] │
│ chunks │ [table 9 rows] │
╰───────────┴───────────────────────────────────╯
```
Ok, what if you want to get the size of png file, you need to know it's stored inside ihdr, so you just need to get `ihdr`.
```
open capture.png | from-binary png | get ihdr
```
So it will output the following:
```
╭────────────────────┬───────────────────╮
│ width │ 1470 │
│ height │ 728 │
│ bit_depth │ 8 │
│ color_type │ {record 0 fields} │
│ compression_method │ 0 │
│ filter_method │ 0 │
│ interlace_method │ 0 │
╰────────────────────┴───────────────────╯
```
## Note
The `kaitaistruct.py` is just a copy of [kaitai struct python runtime](https://github.com/kaitai-io/kaitai_struct_python_runtime), put it directly here, so we don't need extra requirements. DON'T CHANGE IT.
`reader/*.py` are just a copy of auto-generated parser, DON'T CHANGE IT.
To keep the repo as small as possible, it doesn't provide all parsing libs by default, and just provide `png`, `ttf` for showcase.
If you need all parsing lib, just do the following:
```
use fetcher.nu
fetcher fetch-all-libs
```
It'll take several minutes to download all binary parsing libs which exists in kaitai gallery.
