# Compound File Binary Format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a Pure-JS implementation of MS-CFB: Compound File Binary File Format, a
|
||
|
|
format used in many Microsoft file types (such as XLS, DOC, and other Microsoft
|
||
|
|
Office file types).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Installation and Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The package is available on NPM:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ npm install -g cfb
|
||
|
|
$ cfb path/to/CFB/file
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command will extract the storages and streams in the container, generating
|
||
|
|
files that line up with the tree-based structure of the storage. Metadata
|
||
|
|
such as the red-black tree are discarded (and in the future, new CFB containers
|
||
|
|
will exclusively use black nodes)
