# extract-xiso
A command line utility created by [*in*](mailto:in@fishtank.com) to allow the creation, modification, and extraction of XISOs. Currently being maintained and modernized by the [*XboxDev organization*](https://github.com/XboxDev/XboxDev).
## Features
- Create XISOs from a directory.
- Extract XISO content to a directory.
- Multi-Platform and Open-Source.
## Usage
The `extract-xiso` utility can run in multiple modes: *create*, *list*, *rewrite*, and *extract*.
### Create `-c`
Create an XISO from a directiory.
```
# Create halo-2.iso in the current directory containing the files within ./halo-2.iso
./extract-xiso -c ./halo-2
# Create halo-ce.iso in the /home/me/games directory containing files in the ./halo-ce directory
./extract-xiso -c ./halo-ce /home/me/games/halo-ce.iso
```
### List `-l`
List the file contents within an XISO file.
```
# Get file contents of a XISO
./extract-xiso -l ./halo-ce.iso
# List file contents of multiple XISOs
./extract-xiso -l ./halo-2.iso ./halo-ce.iso
```
### Rewrite `-r`
Rewrites filesystem structure of an XISO.
```
# Rewrites XISO
./extract-xiso -r ./halo-ce.iso
# Can be batched
./extract-xiso -r ./halo-ce.iso ./halo-2.iso
```
### Extract `-x`
Extract XISO contents to a directory.
```
# Default mode when no arguments given, extracts to ./halo-ce/
./extract-xiso ./halo-ce.iso
# Can be given a target directory
./extract-xiso ./halo-2.iso -d /home/games/halo-2/
```
### Options
`extract-xiso` has a few optional arguments that can be provided in different modes:
```
-d In extract mode, expand xiso in .
In rewrite mode, rewrite xiso in .
-D In rewrite mode, delete old xiso after processing.
-h Print this help text and exit.
-m In create or rewrite mode, disable automatic .xbe
media enable patching (not recommended).
-q Run quiet (suppress all non-error output).
-Q Run silent (suppress all output).
-s Skip $SystemUpdate folder.
-v Print version information and exit.
```
## Building
### Requirements
- cmake
- make
- gcc
### Windows / macOS / Linux
After requirements are installed with your distribution's package manager (or homebrew for macOS), open terminal and change directory to the project root. Then run the following build commands:
```
# Clone Repo
git clone https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso.git
# cd into directory
cd extract-xiso
# Create working directory
mkdir build
cd build
# Build project
cmake ..
make
```
The compiled binary should now be in the `extract-xiso/build` directory as `extract-xiso`.
