'''SDX''' is an application designed to interact with [Starkit]s (previously called scripted documents).  The acronym now stands for '''Starkit Developer eXtension'''.

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 [Starpack]s (previously called [Custom TclKit]s) and [Scripted Document Structure].

Main SDX subcommands available for use (see home page for more info):

''(Note that online help is available as '''sdx help''' and '''sdx help''' ''cmd'')''

   sdx fetch:   fetch an http file (try "sdx fetch http://wiki.tcl.tk/4.html ")
   sdx lsk yourstarkit:   List the contents of a starkit
   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 tgz2kit:   convert a tar/gz archive to a starkit VFS
   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 update:   a new way to update starkits, based on starsync
   sdx version:   calculate "version ID" of a starkit, and report GMT date of newest file inside
   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.)
