Description

Nintendo Switch file formats can be inspected from the terminal to understand package metadata and related structures.

It is useful for homebrew developers, preservation work, and technical analysis of files the user is allowed to inspect. Some workflows may involve keys or copyrighted content, so handle inputs legally and keep sensitive key material private.
