Global format options
Currently the only global option is force
and is used to ignore some format assertion errors. It can be used as a decode option or as a CLI -o
option:
fq -d mp4 -o force=true file.mp4
fq -d bytes 'mp4({force: true})' file.mp4
Format details
aac_frame
Options
Name | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
object_type |
1 | Audio object type |
Examples
Decode file using aac_frame options
$ fq -d aac_frame -o object_type=1 . file
Decode value as aac_frame
... | aac_frame({object_type:1})
asn1_ber
Supports decoding BER, CER and DER (X.690).
- Currently no extra validation is done for CER and DER.
- Does not support specifying a schema.
- Supports
torepr
but without schema all sequences and sets will be arrays.
Can be used to decode certificates etc
$ fq -d bytes 'frompem | asn1_ber | d' cert.pem
Can decode nested values
$ fq -d asn1_ber '.constructed[1].value | asn1_ber' file.ber
Manual schema
$ fq -d asn1_ber 'torepr as $r | ["version", "modulus", "private_exponent", "private_exponen", "prime1", "prime2", "exponent1", "exponent2", "coefficient"] | with_entries({key: .value, value: $r[.key]})' pkcs1.der

Examples
Decode file using avi options
$ fq -d avi -o decode_samples=true . file
Decode value as avi

Samples
AVI has many redundant ways to index samples so currently .streams[].samples
will only include samples the most "modern" way used in the file. That is in order of stream super index, movi ix index then idx1 index.
Extract samples for stream 1
$ fq '.streams[1].samples[] | tobytes' file.avi > stream01.mp3
Show stream summary
$ fq -o decode_samples=false '[.chunks[0] | grep_by(.id=="LIST" and .type=="strl") | grep_by(.id=="strh") as {$type} | grep_by(.id=="strf") as {$format_tag, $compression} | {$type,$format_tag,$compression}]' *.avi
References
avro_ocf
Supports reading Avro Object Container Format (OCF) files based on the 1.11.0 specification.
Capable of handling null, deflate, and snappy codecs for data compression.
Limitations:
- Schema does not support self-referential types, only built-in types.
- Decimal logical types are not supported for decoding, will just be treated as their primitive type

Timestamps
Timestamps in Apple Binary Property Lists are encoded as Cocoa Core Data
timestamps, where the raw value is the floating point number of seconds since
January 1, 2001. By default, fq
will render the raw floating point value. In
order to get the raw value or string description, use the todescription
function, you can use the tovalue
and todescription
functions:
$ fq 'torepr.SomeTimeStamp | tovalue' Info.plist
685135328
$ fq 'torepr.SomeTimeStamp | todescription' Info.plist

xml
Options
Name | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
array |
false | Decode as nested arrays |
attribute_prefix |
@ | Prefix for attribute keys |
seq |
false | Use seq attribute to preserve element order |
Examples
Decode file using xml options
$ fq -d xml -o array=false -o attribute_prefix="@" -o seq=false . file
Decode value as xml
... | xml({array:false,attribute_prefix:"@",seq:false})
XML can be decoded and encoded into jq values in two ways, elements as object or array. Which variant to use depends a bit what you want to do. The object variant might be easier to query for a specific value but array might be easier to use to generate xml or to query after all elements of some kind etc.
Encoding is done using the toxml
function and it will figure what variant that is used based on the input value.
Is has two optional options indent
and attribute_prefix
.
Elements as object
Element can have different shapes depending on body text, attributes and children:
<a key="value">text</a>
is{"a":{"#text":"text","@key":"value"}}
, has text (#text
) and attributes (@key
)<a>text</a>
is{"a":"text"}
<a><b>text</b></a>
is{"a":{"b":"text"}}
one child with only text and no attributes<a><b/><b>text</b></a>
is{"a":{"b":["","text"]}}
two children with same name end up in an array<a><b/><b key="value">text</b></a>
is{"a":{"b":["",{"#text":"text","@key":"value"}]}}
If there is #seq
attribute it encodes the child element order. Use -o seq=true
to include sequence number when decoding,
otherwise order might be lost.
# decode as object is the default
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -d xml -o seq=true
{
"a": {
"b": [
{
"#seq": 0
},
{
"#seq": 1,
"#text": "bbb"
}
],
"c": {
"#seq": 2,
"#text": "ccc",
"@attr": "value"
}
}
}
# access text of the <c> element
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq '.a.c["#text"]'
"ccc"
# decode to object and encode to xml
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -r -d xml -o seq=true 'toxml({indent:2})'
<a>
<b></b>
<b>bbb</b>
<c attr="value">ccc</c>
</a>
Elements as array
Elements are arrays of the shape ["#text": "body text", "attr_name", {key: "attr value"}|null, [<child element>, ...]]
.
# decode as array
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -d xml -o array=true
[
"a",
null,
[
[
"b",
null,
[]
],
[
"b",
{
"#text": "bbb"
},
[]
],
[
"c",
{
"#text": "ccc",
"attr": "value"
},
[]
]
]
]
# decode to array and encode to xml
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -r -d xml -o array=true -o seq=true 'toxml({indent:2})'
<a>
<b></b>
<b>bbb</b>
<c attr="value">ccc</c>
</a>
# access text of the <c> element, the object variant above is probably easier to use
$ echo '<a><b/><b>bbb</b><c attr="value">ccc</c></a>' | fq -o array=true '.[2][2][1]["#text"]'
"ccc"
