NAME

       grokevt-ripdll - A tool for extracting message resources from a PE-formatted file.

SYNOPSIS

       grokevt-ripdll  input-dll  output-db .SH DESCRIPTION grokevt-ripdll parses a PE-formatted file (modern .exe and .dll files are examples PE-
       formatted files) and extracts all message resources. These resources are then stored in a Berkeley-style database file, which maps relative
       virtual addresses (RVAs) to the message resources themselves. These RVAs are what can be found in a windows event log file (.evt extension)
       to reference the proper message resource.  This utility is not intended to be used directly by end-users.  It is used by grokevt-builddb(1)
       to extract resources from all DLL/EXEs referenced in the registry.

ARGUMENTS

       input-dll
	      This  is the PE formatted file to extract resources from. (It doesn't need to have a .dll extension, but it is most commonly used on
	      DLLs.)

       output-db
	      The database file to store the RVA->message mapping in. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.  To extract the entries
	      stored in this database, see grokevt-dumpmsgs(1).

BUGS

       Probably a few. This script has not been extensively tested with some guest platforms or with non-english systems.

       The  documentation  used  as a reference for PE formatted files was not complete or not completely accurate in places. Much guess-and-check
       took place.

NAME

       extresso - wrapper for wrestool and icotool

SYNOPSIS

       extresso [OPTIONS]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the extresso command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page.

       Extresso reads resource scripts, and uses wrestool to extract the listed resources and icotool to convert them (if necessary).

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

       -o,--output=DIR
	      Where to place extracted files (default `.').

       --format=FORMAT
	      Extraction format of icon resources, passed to icotool.

       -b,--base=DIR
	      Base directory of local files in scripts. (This will be appended to ``file'' lines in the scripts.)

       -i,--interactive
	      Prompt before extraction.

       -v,--verbose
	      Explain what is being done.

       --help Display a help message and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Extract all resources from shell32.dll using the resource script ``win98_shell32'', assuming it	is  available  in  ``/windows/windows/sys-
       tem/shell32.dll'', and placing output in ``out/'':

	 $ extresso ../data/resscripts/win98_shell32 --base=/windows/windows --output=out/
	 $ find out/ -type f | wc -l
	 339
	 $
