CLS-Wrapper

A wrapper/host for cls libraries to be used as stdio/fio purpose. If you have a cls based (de)compressor and want to use that with file/std io but not using freearc, you can use this. In order to use cls with this, cls-xxx.dll must be renamed to arc-xxx.dll to avoid conflicts with freearc.

Usage:

clsw.exe c:{compressor} {parameters} infile outfile

clsw.exe d:{compressor} infile outfile

Here, c: and d: represents compress and decompress. InFile/OutFile can be replaced with "-" for stdin/stdout

Sample usage:

[External compressor:lolz]

header = 0

packcmd = lolz_x64.exe {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = clsw.exe d:lolz - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:bpk]

header = 0

packcmd = clsw.exe c:bpk - - <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = clsw.exe d:bpk_u - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:diskspan]

header = 0

packcmd = clsw.exe c:diskspan 100mb:512mb - - <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = clsw.exe d:diskspan - - <stdin> <stdout>

The program is basically a translation of C_CLS.cpp
