DECO

Synopsis

HELP:   Read certain members or records from an existing FLAM archive
TYPE:   OBJECT
SYNTAX: DECO(FROM/READ(),WRITE/TO[{}...],LOGGING.{},MESSAGE(),NORUN)

Description

The DECO subcommand can be used to extract some or all members or certain records (i.e. subsets if a MATCH object is specified) from an existing FLAM archive in clear/original form.

You can select only certain members from the archive via member lists using wildcards and/or only select members with certain contents if the MATCH overlay is specified. For a new archive, the FLAM parameters for compression and encryption can be specified. If the archive already exists, these are adopted or the correct values can be specified for decryption. In this case, implicit re-keying can be carried out together with writing a new version if the new version is to be provided with new rights.

If an archive is partially damaged, you can attempt to read the rest of the archive by activating the REPAIR switch. This ignores all segments that can no longer be accessed or that can no longer be unpacked, so that all data that is still readable can be extracted.
