NAME
     amigadepacker - Tool for depacking some compressed Amiga formats

SYNTAX
     amigadepacker [-c] [-h] [-o outfile] [-p] [-v] FILE ...

DESCRIPTION
     amigadepacker  depacks compressed Amiga formats. PowerPacker, XPK SQSH, MM-
     CMP and StoneCracker 4.04 (S404) formats are supported.  Amigadepacker will
     automatically determine the compressed  format  by  content.   Among  other
     things, the tool is useful for playing packed Amiga music formats with uade
     (1).

     If  no  files are given for the amigadepacker, the data is read from stdin.
     If some files are given, it tries to unpack them inplace, i.e.  overwriting
     the given files with unpacked data. If a single file and "-c" is given, un-
     packed  data  is  written	to  stdout. If a single file and "-o outfile" is
     given, unpacked data is written to file named "out".

     The tool can also be used to decrypt powerpacker encrypted files. That  op-
     eration will take a few hours.

OPTIONS
     -c     Unpack to stdout (when regular files have been given as parameters)

     -h     Display help

     -o outfile, --output-file outfile
	    Write decrunched data into outfile instead of overwriting the packed
	    file

     -p     Pretend  to  unpack,  but  do  not.  Prints names of packed files to
	    stderr. Pretend mode always returns success if arguments are  valid.
	    This is useful for searching packed files.

     -v     Display version information

EXAMPLES
     Unpack a file:
     amigadepacker foo

     Unpack a file from stdin to stdout:
     amigadepacker < foo > foo.depacked

     Find all packed files under /path, but do not unpack anything (--pretend):
     find /path/ -type f -print0 |xargs -0 amigadepacker --pretend --
