Description

Reads and extracts content from CHM help files, including decompilation-style workflows for inspecting packaged documentation. It is useful for old manuals, software help archives, and documentation recovery.

CHM files can come from untrusted software bundles. Extract unknown files into a dedicated directory and avoid opening embedded links or scripts blindly.
