Re: [Barry-devel] Announce: new tool: bio

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Thanks :-)

I fixed some bugs today, did some cleanup work, and added a new
record parser for Content Store.  Also added a simple output mode
to the bio command, which lets you extract files from the Content
Store database.  Some devices seem to put photos in there, but
I don't know how to copy photos there explicitly on the 9530.

The Content Store seems like a nice little generic filesystem.
I should probably make a FUSE interface for it someday. :-)

Merry Christmas to you too, and to all!

- Chris
