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

apple_bookmark
Apple BookmarkData.
Apple's bookmarkData
format is used to encode information that can be resolved
into a URL
object for a file even if the user moves or renames it. Can also
contain security scoping information for App Sandbox support.
These bookmarkData
blobs are often found endcoded in data fields of Binary
Property Lists. Notable examples include:
-
com.apple.finder.plist
- contains anFXRecentFolders
value, which is an array of ten objects, each of which consists of aname
andfile-bookmark
field, which is abookmarkData
object for each recently accessed folder location. -
com.apple.LSSharedFileList.RecentApplications.sfl2
-sfl2
files are actuallyplist
files of theNSKeyedArchiver
format. They can be parsed the same asplist
files, but they have a more complicated tree-like structure than would typically be found, which can make locating and retrieving specific values difficult, even once it has been converted to a JSON representation. For more information about these types of files, see Sarah Edwards' excellent research on the subject (link in references).
fq
's grep_by
function can be used to recursively descend through the decoded
tree, probing for and selecting any bookmark
blobs, then converting them to
readable JSON with torepr
:
fq 'grep_by(.type=="data" and .value[0:4] == "book") | .value | apple_bookmark |
torepr' <sfl2 file>

asn1_ber
ASN1 BER (basic encoding rules, also CER and DER).
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 'from_pem | 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 avc_au options
$ fq -d avc_au -o length_size=0 . file
Decode value as avc_au
... | avc_au({length_size:0})
avi

Options
Name | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
decode_extended_chunks |
true | Decode extended chunks |
decode_samples |
true | Decode samples |
Examples
Decode file using avi options
$ fq -d avi -o decode_extended_chunks=true -o decode_samples=true . file
Decode value as avi
... | avi({decode_extended_chunks:true,decode_samples:true})
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
Speed up decoding by disabling sample and extended chunks decoding
If your not interested in sample details or extended chunks you can speed up decoding by using:
$ fq -o decode_samples=false -o decode_extended_chunks=false d file.avi
References
avro_ocf
Avro object container file.
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

bplist
Apple Binary Property List.
Show full decoding
$ fq d Info.plist
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
"2022-09-17T19:22:08Z"
Get JSON representation
bplist
files can be converted to a JSON representation using the torepr
filter:
$ fq torepr com.apple.UIAutomation.plist
{
"UIAutomationEnabled": true
}
Decoding NSKeyedArchiver serialized objects
A common way that Swift and Objective-C libraries on macOS serialize objects
is through the NSKeyedArchiver API, which flattens objects into a list of elements
and class descriptions that are reconstructed into an object graph using CFUID
elements in the property list. fq
includes a function, from_ns_keyed_archiver
,
which will rebuild this object graph into a friendly representation.
If no parameters are supplied, it will assume that there is a CFUID located at
."$top".root
that specifies the root from which decoding should occur. If this
is not present, an error will be produced, asking the user to specify a root
object in the .$objects
list from which to decode.
The following examples show how this might be used (in this case, within the fq
REPL):
# Assume $top.root is present
bplist> from_ns_keyed_archiver
# Specify optional root
bplist> from_ns_keyed_archiver(1)

fit
Garmin Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer.
Limitations
- Fields with subcomponents, such as "compressed_speed_distance" field on globalMessageNumber 20 is not represented correctly. The field is read as 3 separate bytes where the first 12 bits are speed and the last 12 bits are distance.
- There are still lots of UNKOWN fields due to gaps in Garmins SDK Profile documentation. (Currently FIT SDK 21.126)
- Compressed timestamp messages are not accumulated against last known full timestamp.
Convert stream of data messages to JSON array

iNES/NES 2.0 cartridge ROM format.
Limitations
prg_rom
,chr_rom
andtrainer
fields may contain data that is just random junk from the memory chips, since they are of a fixed size.- The
nes_toasm
function outputs ALL opcodes, including the unofficial ones, which means that none of the regular assemblers can recompile it. - The
nes_tokitty
function works on tiles inchr_rom
but only outputs a Kitty graphics compatible string. You need to manuallyprintf
that string to get Kitty (or another compatible terminal) to output the graphics.
Decompile PRG ROM
$ fq -r '.prg_rom[] | nes_toasm' file.nes
Print out first CHR ROM tile in Kitty (or Konsole, wayst, WezTerm) at size 5
$ printf $(fq -r -d nes '.chr_rom[0] | nes_tokitty(5)' file.nes)
Print out all CHR ROM tiles in Kitty (with Bash) at size 5
$ for line in $(fq -r '.chr_rom[] | nes_tokitty(5)' file.nes);do printf "%b%s" "$line";done

tap
TAP tape format for ZX Spectrum computers.
The TAP- (and BLK-) format is nearly a direct copy of the data that is stored in real tapes, as it is written by the ROM save routine of the ZX-Spectrum. A TAP file is simply one data block or a group of 2 or more data blocks, one followed after the other. The TAP file may be empty.
You will often find this format embedded inside the TZX tape format.
The default file extension is .tap
.

tzx
TZX tape format for ZX Spectrum computers.
TZX
is a file format designed to preserve cassette tapes compatible with the
ZX Spectrum computers, although some specialized versions of the format have
been defined for other machines such as the Amstrad CPC and C64.
The format was originally created by Tomaz Kac, who was maintainer until
revision 1.13
, before passing it to Martijn v.d. Heide. For a brief period
the company Ramsoft became the maintainers, and created revision v1.20
.
The default file extension is .tzx
.

xml
Extensible Markup Language.
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 to_xml
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 'to_xml({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 'to_xml({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"

zip
ZIP archive.
Options

Examples
Decode file using zip options
$ fq -d zip -o uncompress=true . file
Decode value as zip

Supports ZIP64.
Timestamp and time zones
The timestamp accessed via .local_files[].last_modification
is encoded in ZIP files using MS-DOS representation which lacks a known time zone. Probably the local time/date was used at creation. The unix_guess
field in last_modification
is a guess assuming the local time zone was UTC at creation.
