how to unpack resources.pak from google chrome?
compression, google-chrome
Solution
taken from https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/chromium-dev/agGjTt4Dmcw
4 byte version number 4 byte number of resources 1 byte encoding
For each resource: 2 byte resource id 4 byte resource offset in file
There is an extra resource entry at the end with ID 0 giving the end of the last resource (which is essentially the length of the file)
This python module can unpack and repack files: data_pack.py from grit-i18n
Problem
There are bunch of interesting files accessible via `chrome://resources/*` using google chrome. On linux That the content is in `/opt/google/chrome/resources.pak`. I know I can get the whole sources from http://chromium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ but I would like to unpack the `resource.pak` file. `file resources.pak` reports just junk. Just to be clear, the question is NOT where to get those resources from. The question is what is the resources.pak file format and how to unpack it?
