# nbt

A command-line NBT (Named Binary Tag) parser

## Description

This project is a command-line parser for Minecraft's [NBT

format](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/NBT_format). It converts the binary

save data generated by Minecraft into human-readable text, called SNBT

(Stringified NBT).

The parser is written in C99-compliant C with no external dependencies.

## Building

Simply run `make` to build the program. The resulting binary will be called

`nbt`.

### Optimization

A build profile can be specified using the `BUILD` environment variable. The

available options are listed below. The value defaults to `release` if none is

specified.

| Value     | Settings applied                                                |

| ---       | ---                                                             |

| `release` | Code is optimized for binary size and all symbols are stripped. |

| `debug`   | Code is not optimized and debugging symbols are added.          |

The `BUILD` variable can be set as an environment variable or as an argument to `make`:

```sh

$ export BUILD=release

$ make

...

# or

$ make BUILD=release

...

```

## Usage

Run `nbt -h` to print usage information for the program.

Minecraft saves its data in gzip-compressed NBT files. This program doesn't

decompress this data, so you must do that beforehand. You can use the following

pipeline on UNIX-like systems.

```sh

# Template

$ gzip -dc  | nbt [options]

# Example

$ gzip -dc level.dat | nbt

```
