First release! Most formats should work pretty well.
If you're having problems on Linux/macOS, run chisel with --regenerate-magic.

Known issues

  1. The -o option is broken when used in single‑file processing.
  2. The default logging level is WARNING instead of ERROR.

macOS: removing the Gatekeeper quarantine

When downloading binaries from the internet, macOS automatically marks them as “quarantined”.
If you try to run chisel and macOS shows a warning like:

“chisel cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer”

…you need to remove the quarantine attribute manually.

How to remove the quarantine flag

Open Terminal in the folder where you downloaded chisel and run:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./chisel

To verify that the quarantine flag is gone:

xattr ./chisel

If com.apple.quarantine no longer appears, you're good to go.

Now you can run:

./chisel ...

Note
This issue does not occur if you compile chisel yourself.
