NAME

       erf — BioWare ERF (.erf, .mod, .nwm, .sav) archive packer

SYNOPSIS

       erf [options] output_archive [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       erf  packs  files  together  into  a  BioWare  ERF archive, found in many BioWare Games as files with the
       extension .erf, .mod, .nwm or .sav.  Moreover, in some games, a .rim file might be an ERF  instead  of  a
       RIM.

       There's several different versions of ERFs.  This tool supports only version V1.0, as used by Neverwinter
       Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II, Jade Empire and The Witcher.

       Unsupported Features:
       •   Generation of archives with stripped filenames.
       •   Generation of zlib-compressed archives.
       •   Generation of Blowfish-encrypted archives.
       •   Generation of XOR-encrypted archives.
       •   Setting of a description for archives.
       •   Usage of paths in archives.
