Features

• Parse WordPress plugin headers from PHP files
• Parse WordPress theme headers from style.css
• Parse unzipped plugin and theme directories
• Parse plugin and theme zip archives (CLI only)
• Normalize CR and CRLF line endings
• Apply best-effort decoding (in order):
  1. If input is already valid UTF-8, return it (strip UTF-8 BOM if present)
  2. Check for UTF-32 BOMs (BE/LE) and decode when present
  3. Check for UTF-16 BOMs (BE/LE) and decode when present
  4. Try Windows-1252
  5. Try ISO-8859-1

Library Usage

Refer to Go Reference on pkg.go.dev

CLI Usage

USAGE:
  wpry [<flags>...] <path>

FLAGS:
  -parallel n
    	run n workers simultaneously.
    	If n is 0 or less, GOMAXPROCS is used. Setting -parallel to values higher
    	 than GOMAXPROCS may cause degraded performance due to CPU contention.
    	(default GOMAXPROCS)
  -timeout d
    	If the parser runs longer than duration d, abort. (default 1m0s)
  -v	Print version
  -version
    	Print version

EXAMPLES:
  # Parse a plugin main file
  $ wpry /path/to/index.php

  # Parse a theme main stylesheet
  $ wpry /path/to/style.css

  # Parse an unzipped plugin
  $ wpry /path/to/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce

  # Parse an unzipped theme
  $ wpry /path/to/wp-content/themes/twentytwentynine

  # Parse a plugin zip
  $ wpry /path/to/woocommerce.zip

  # Parse a theme zip
  $ wpry /path/to/twentytwentynine.zip
