# LibHac LibHac is a .NET or .NET Core library for opening, decrypting and extracting common content file formats used by the Nintendo Switch. All content is imported and exported as .NET streams. This means that reading nested file types and encryptions can easily be done by linking different file readers together. For example, the files from a title stored on the external SD card can be read or extracted in this way. `NAX0 Reader` -> `NCA Reader` -> `RomFS Reader` -> `Individual Files` # hactoolnet hactoolnet is an example program that uses LibHac. It is used in a similar manner to [hactool](https://github.com/SciresM/hactool). ## Usage ``` Usage: hactoolnet.exe [options...] Options: -r, --raw Keep raw data, don't unpack. -y, --verify Verify hashes. -k, --keyset Load keys from an external file. -t, --intype=type Specify input file type [nca, xci, switchfs, save, keygen] --titlekeys Load title keys from an external file. NCA options: --section0 Specify Section 0 file path. --section1 Specify Section 1 file path. --section2 Specify Section 2 file path. --section3 Specify Section 3 file path. --section0dir Specify Section 0 directory path. --section1dir Specify Section 1 directory path. --section2dir Specify Section 2 directory path. --section3dir Specify Section 3 directory path. --exefs Specify ExeFS directory path. --exefsdir Specify ExeFS directory path. --romfs Specify RomFS directory path. --romfsdir Specify RomFS directory path. --listromfs List files in RomFS. --basenca Set Base NCA to use with update partitions. XCI options: --rootdir Specify root XCI directory path. --updatedir Specify update XCI directory path. --normaldir Specify normal XCI directory path. --securedir Specify secure XCI directory path. --logodir Specify logo XCI directory path. --outdir Specify XCI directory path. --exefs Specify main ExeFS file path. --exefsdir Specify main ExeFS directory path. --romfs Specify main RomFS file path. --romfsdir Specify main RomFS directory path. --nspout Specify file for the created NSP. Switch FS options: --sdseed Set console unique seed for SD card NAX0 encryption. --listapps List application info. --listtitles List title info for all titles. --title Specify title ID to use. --outdir <dir> Specify directory path to save title NCAs to. (--title must be specified) --exefs <file> Specify ExeFS directory path. (--title must be specified) --exefsdir <dir> Specify ExeFS directory path. (--title must be specified) --romfs <file> Specify RomFS directory path. (--title must be specified) --romfsdir <dir> Specify RomFS directory path. (--title must be specified) --savedir <dir> Specify save file directory path. Savefile options: --outdir <dir> Specify directory path to save contents to. --debugoutdir <dir> Specify directory path to save intermediate data to for debugging. ``` ## Examples #### List applications on a Switch SD card or NAND `hactoolnet -t switchfs --sdseed <sd_seed> --listapps <sd_root_path>` #### Extract a title from an SD card or NAND as NCA files `hactoolnet -t switchfs --sdseed <sd_seed> --title <title_id> --outdir output <sd_root_path>` #### Extract the RomFS from a title from an SD card or NAND `hactoolnet -t switchfs --sdseed <sd_seed> --title <title_id> --romfsdir romfs <sd_root_path>` Specifying the base title ID will extract the unpatched title. Specifying the patch title ID will extract the patched title. ## External Keys For more detailed information on keyset files, see [KEYS.md](KEYS.md). Keys can be loaded from a text file by specifying a filename with the `-k` argument. The file should be in the same format read by [hactool](https://github.com/SciresM/hactool#external-keys): "Keyset files are text files containing one key per line, in the form "key_name = HEXADECIMALKEY". Case shouldn't matter, nor should whitespace." Console-unique keys can be loaded from a text file by specifying a filename with the `--consolekeys` argument. The file format is the same as the main keyset file. Title keys can be loaded from a text file by specifying a filename with the `--titlekeys` argument. The file should contain one key per line in the form `rights_id,HEXADECIMALKEY`. If a keyfile is not set at the command line, hactoolnet will search for and load keyfiles in `$HOME/.switch/prod.keys`, `$HOME/.switch/console.keys` and `$HOME/.switch/title.keys`.
