Yencer

Yencer encodes and decodes yEnc data

Install

$ npm install yencer

Todo

• yEnc encoding
• Multipart support
• Buffer/String issues

Examples

Get the Yencer class

var Yencer = require('yencer');

Decode a stream

Here I read out a usenet article stored to disk, including headers. Yencer will take care of it.

var fs = require('fs'),
    stream = Yencer.decodeStream();
 
// Stream the article file into the decoder
fs.createReadStream('/tmp/test.ntx').pipe(stream);
 
// Stream the decoder output into a new file
stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('/tmp/decoded-file'));

Decode an article

Here I read out a usenet article stored to disk, including headers. Yencer will take care of it.

 
// Get the buffer to the file
var buffer = fs.readFileSync('/tmp/test.ntx');
 
// Decode the buffer, which returns a YencFile object
var result = Yencer.decodeArticle(buffer);
 
// Inspect the object
console.log(result);
 
    // { buffer: <Buffer ff d8 ff 64 ... >, // The thing you want
    //   info:                              // Info from the yEnc headers
    //    { part: 1,

    //   ybegin: true,               // If there was a ybegin line

    //   intact: true,               // If the checksums matched
    //   checksum: '72182d81',       // The decoded checksum
