'''sarc''' is a tool that can read and generate both big endian and little endian [[SARC]] archives, whether they are [[Yaz0]] compressed or not. It is one of the few tools that are able to align file data correctly.

== Setup ==
Install the <code>sarc</code> package. {{Install py package help|package=sarc}}

== Known issues ==
None

== Usage ==
This tool automatically decompresses [[Yaz0]]-compressed archives, and re-compresses them when repacking if the extension starts with an <code>s</code>. This means that '''you do not need to compress or decompress files manually'''.

* To '''extract''': <code>sarc extract INPUT_FILE.pack</code>
* To '''pack''' (create a new archive): <code>sarc create INPUT_FOLDER OUTPUT_FILE.sbactorpack</code> (add <code> -b</code> at the end of the line for Wii U only).
* If you are using this tool for non-BotW games, make sure to pass the --not-botw flag as other games need different packing rules.
* More commands in the [https://github.com/leoetlino/sarc readme].
