vhistxl
Table of Contents
vhistxl is a commandline tool for inspection and validation of
existing VHIST files. Moreover it can extract embedded files
from a VHIST file. In particular, the List Embedded Files options can
be useful: consider it similiar to the same functionality of the UNIX
tar command.
Commandline:
vhistxl.py [Options] <vhistfile>
| Built-in Help (vhistxl) | -h or –help |
| Get Version Information | -V or –version |
| List Embedded Files | -t or –list |

List Embedded Files
-t or –list <vhistfile>
will only list all embedded files and not extract any data.
Extract All Files
-x or –extract
will extract all files to disk (implies List Embedded Files).
Extract One File
-f <fileid> or –extract-file <fileid>
will extract the file with the id <fileid>.

Pretend Mode

write anything to disk.
