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)
