Inspecting Content of Add-on BIN File
Is there an easy way to unpack an add-on ".bin" file to review what it will do before actually installing it?
I looked at the "build_addon" script in the SDK and assumed I could just strip the first 16384 bytes from the file then untar it but the stripped file didn't appear to be valid to tar.
This is for ReadyNAS Pro.
THANKS

- FrontView is a compiled perl module.
Yes, it would read the header, then strip it off during extraction. - To convert from the .bin to a .tar file, simply run the following:
dd if=file.bin of=file.tar bs=16k skip=1
