SDX is an application designed to interact with Starkits (previously called scripted documents). The acronym now stands for Starkit Developer eXtension.
(You can find it at http://mini.net/sdarchive/ )
sdx is frequently named sdx.kit on systems where extensions are used to create mappings between files and their interpreters.
Hopefully users of sdx will chime in here with pointers to documentation, examples of use, tricks, techniques, and more. The combination of tclkit and starkits is a very powerful one.
See also Starpacks (previously called Custom TclKits) and Scripted Document Structure.
sdx subcommands available for use:
(Note that online help is available as sdx help and sdx help cmd)
- sdx addtoc

- sdx mkinfo <NEW>
- display info about mk datafile offset/format and the views it contains
- sdx mkshow
- dump Metakit views
- sdx qwrap
- a shortcut for "sdx wrap", creating a runnable compressed starkit from a single Tcl script (avoids having to do "mkdir myapp.vfs/bin/main.tcl" etc, manually)
- sdx ratarx
- reverse actions of a "tar x" command (delete all files also present inside the tarx, leaving only those that differ)
- sdx rexecd
- remote exec server
- sdx sdx
- the code which implements the help functionality
- sdx sync
- copy one tree to another, but only changes (can also deal with starkits)
- sdx tgz2kit <NEW>
- convert a tar/gz archive to a starkit VFS
- sdx treetime
- adjust modtimes in dir trees to match most recent file inside
- sdx unwrap yourstarkit
- Extract the contents of a starkit into a file system. Creates a directory with the name [file root starkit].vfs The directory must not already exist.
- sdx wrap skname
- Takes the contents of the directory skname.vfs and and creates a starkit with the name skname from it. Be sure to use the -writable flag if you want your starkit to be writable! By default starkits are read-only.
(crc16, pkgIndex, and tree were erroneously listed in an older version of sdx - if your sdx (or sdx.kit) still lists them, then you should download the latest version.)

[Does anyone have wiki pages or web URLs of actual examples of using sdx.kit ??]
