Overview
Dlb is a file archiving tool in the spirit (and tradition) of tar(1) for nethack(6) version 3.1 and higher. It is used to maintain the archive files from which the game reads special level files and other read-only information. Note that like tar, the letters specifying the operation and options are expressed as a continuous string. Unlike tar, dlb is configured with a default set of file names to process.
Operations
c causes dlb to create a new archive from files in the current directory.
t lists the files in the archive.
x causes dlb to extract the contents of the archive into the current directory.
Options
- C dir
-
Change directory to dir before trying to read any files.
- f archive
-
Read from or write to archive instead of LIBFILE (usually the nhdat file in the playground).
- I list-file
-
Read from list-file the names of files to emplace within or extract from the archive. The default for archive creation is LIBLISTFILE.
v-
Operate verbosely.
Examples
Create the default archive from the default file list:
dlb c
List the contents of the archive foo:
dlb tf foo
