info

Print information about MPQ archive properties.

The info subcommand prints a list of useful information (property keys and values) of an MPQ archive.

$ mpqcli info wow-patch.mpq
Archive size: 1798918
File count: 65
Format version: 1
Header offset: 0
Header size: 32
Max files: 128
Signature type: Weak

The info subcommand supports the following properties:

  • archive-size
  • file-count
  • format-version
  • header-offset
  • header-size
  • max-files
  • signature-type

You can use the -p or --property argument with the info subcommand to print just the value of a specific property. This can be useful for automation, for example, to determine the signature type of a directory of MPQ archives.

$ mpqcli info -p file-count wow-patch.mpq
65
