txr 2.0.0

Stylish merge/split files (tar-like with txt output)

Mainly purposed for archiving text files as text files, but can archive any file and not only as text. txr was inspired by tar, gzip and gunzip. License: GPL v3 or later.

The txr format is composed of two files with the following extensions:

• .txr - a comma delimited index file (text).

• .txd - a data file (can either be text or binary). By default it is concatenation of the input files, separated by a sentinel).

txr uses:

• sha256 (for optional hashing, by default).

• zlib (for optional compressing).

• cryptography (for optional encrypting).

Install:

>>> pip install txr

txr is a standalone application (It consist of a single source file txr.py). Using the above command installs txr both as a console script and as a python module. If you wish you could also just copy txr.py and use it as a standalone app.

Basic Usage:

Archive a folder (or a single file)

>>> txr c:\my_input

Extracting a txr file:

>>> txr -x c:\my_input.txr

See detailed help with all available parameters:

>>> txr
