plaguevfs

plaguevfs is a library for parsing, searching, and unpacking .VFS archives shipped with all versions of Pathologic 1 (2004 to 2015), as well as handling individual files from inside the archives and subdirectories. Although the code aims to be as self-explanatory as possible, there's currently little to no documentation for the library.
