-thank you Exhibitmark for doing the hard work and making [carnation](https://github.com/Exhibitmark/carnation), saved me a lot of headache reversing the manifest format :)
+# evrFileTools
 
-tool i ~~not so~~ quickly threw together to modify any file(s) in an EVR manifest/package combo.
-Barely in a working state, please cut me some slack while i clean this up
+A Go library and CLI tool for working with EVR (Echo VR) package and manifest files.
 
-extracting files example:
+> Thanks to [Exhibitmark](https://github.com/Exhibitmark) for [carnation](https://github.com/Exhibitmark/carnation) which helped with reversing the manifest format!
+
+## Features
+
+- Extract files from EVR packages
+- Build new packages from extracted files
+- Read and write EVR manifest files
+- ZSTD compression/decompression with optimized context reuse
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go install github.com/EchoTools/evrFileTools/cmd/evrtools@latest
+```
+
+Or build from source:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/EchoTools/evrFileTools.git
+cd evrFileTools
+make build
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Extract files from a package
+
+```bash
+evrtools -mode extract \
+    -data ./ready-at-dawn-echo-arena/_data/5932408047/rad15/win10 \
+    -package 48037dc70b0ecab2 \
+    -output ./extracted
 ```
-evrFileTools -mode extract -packageName 48037dc70b0ecab2 -dataDir ./ready-at-dawn-echo-arena/_data/5932408047/rad15/win10 -outputDir ./output/
+
+This extracts all files from the package. Output structure:
+- `./output/<typeSymbol>/<fileSymbol>`
+
+With `-preserve-groups`, frames are preserved:
+- `./output/<frameIndex>/<typeSymbol>/<fileSymbol>`
+
+### Build a package from files
+
+```bash
+evrtools -mode build \
+    -input ./files \
+    -output ./output \
+    -package mypackage
 ```
-this will extract and write out every file contained in the package to outputFolder.
-the names of the subfolders created in outputFolder are the filetype symbols, the files contained within are named with their respective symbols.
 
-If the `-outputPreserveGroups` flag is provided, there will be folders created to seperate each frame. This is currently the directory structure that `-mode build` expects.
+Expected input structure: `./input/<frameIndex>/<typeSymbol>/<fileSymbol>`
+
+### CLI Options
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `-mode` | Operation mode: `extract` or `build` |
+| `-data` | Path to _data directory containing manifests/packages |
+| `-package` | Package name (e.g., `48037dc70b0ecab2`) |
+| `-input` | Input directory for build mode |
+| `-output` | Output directory |
+| `-preserve-groups` | Preserve frame grouping in extract output |
+| `-force` | Allow non-empty output directory |
+
+## Library Usage
 
+```go
+package main
 
-replacing files example:
+import (
+    "log"
+    "github.com/EchoTools/evrFileTools/pkg/manifest"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Read a manifest
+    m, err := manifest.ReadFile("/path/to/manifests/packagename")
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+
+    log.Printf("Manifest: %d files in %d packages", m.FileCount(), m.PackageCount())
+
+    // Open the package files
+    pkg, err := manifest.OpenPackage(m, "/path/to/packages/packagename")
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    defer pkg.Close()
+
+    // Extract all files
+    if err := pkg.Extract("./output"); err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+}
 ```

-Directory structure of inputDir while using `-mode replace` should be `./inputFolder/0/...`, where ... is the structure of `-mode extract` *without* the `-outputPreserveGroups` flag.
 
-e.g. if replacing the Echo VR logo DDS, the stucture would be as follows: `./input/0/-4707359568332879775/-3482028914369150717`
+## Performance
+
+The library uses several optimizations:
+
+- **Direct binary encoding** instead of reflection-based `binary.Read/Write`
+- **Pre-allocated buffers** for zero-allocation encoding paths
+- **ZSTD context reuse** for ~4x faster decompression with zero allocations
+- **Frame index maps** for O(1) file lookups during extraction
+- **Directory caching** to minimize syscalls
+
+Run benchmarks to see current performance:
+
+```bash
+go test -bench=. -benchmem ./pkg/...
+```
 
+## License
 
-if a file with the same filetype symbol & filename symbol exists in the manifest, it will edit the manifest & package file to match, and write out the contents of both to outputDir.
