CLI tool and REPL for working with binary data inspired by jq
fq is inspired by the well known jq tool and language and allows you to work
with binary formats the same way you would using jq. In addition it can present
data like a hex viewer, transform, slice and concatenate binary data. It also
supports nested formats and has an interactive REPL with auto-completion.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
