MVLEXTRACT(1)

NAME
mvlextract - Extracts all MVE (movie) files from the given MVL archive into the current directory.

SYNOPSIS
mvlextract [options] mvlfile [filename]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mvlextract command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

mvlextract is an utility to extract MVE movie files, like that found in the DESCENT II videogame and played by the D2X package, archived in a MVL file, i.e. a file with a .mvl extension. It supports all MVL files around, so if you find one that doesn't work, please report this as a bug. You'll find some MVL files as part of the Descent II Registered datafiles.

OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. These command-line options do not appear to be documented elsewhere, so the only authoritive source is the source code itself.

v   Don't extract, print a listing of all MVE files to stdout.

SEE ALSO
mvlcreate(1), mveplayer(1).

AUTHOR
The command was first created by Josh Cogliati in 1999, then modified by Bradley Bell in 2002 for use with the D2X package. This manual page was written by Paolo Ulivi <pulivi@libero.it>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
