0a04deadc0de12080a04beefbabe1000

$ echo "0a04deadc0de12080a04beefbabe1000" | stbx codec --decode
{"previous":"deadc0de","firing":{"execution":"beefbabe","path":[0]}}

echo 0a04deadbeef1a420a2b0a0161100010011000100110001002100010021000100310001003100010001a01781a01791a017a1a0177120f0a017a10011801180222017322017418001800 | stbx codec --decode
{"nets":[{"name":"a","partition":[0,1,0,1,0,2,0,2,0,3,0,3,0,0],"names":["x","y","z","w"]}],"diagrams":[{"name":"z","width":1,"pixels":[1,2],"names":["s","t"]}],"labels":[0,0]}

hash: Compute Hashes

Computes hashes, pass a hexadecimal string via stdin or using a file (with -i).

$ echo 'feedc0de' | stbx hash                                     fafec8b68b40c948930d7e4f7263a1b8e9bbd543ec37d0f7b3403b6fd6066737fb75b56ac43290b9d8c1191882fc2f0c055eb06f6155c4a462c4f61d71b92e7e

convert: Conversion from GreatSPN

Convert PNPRO to statebox petrinet representation.

Usage: stbx-cli-convert [options]

Options:
  -V, --version            output the version number
  -i, --input [filename]   File to read input from
  -o, --output [filename]  File to write output to
  -F, --force              Force file overwrite
  -l, --list               List available pages (Petri nets) in PNPRO project file.
  -1, --one [name]         Extract single net by name.
  -a, --all                Extract all nets as a dictionary.
  -f, --format [format]    Specify output format: `nll` or `nbpt`.
  -h, --help               output usage information

The output format is specified with --format and is either either:

• nbpt ~ Nano-Bipartite Graph
• nll ~ Number List List

Usage:

# list all nets
stbx convert -i myProject.pnpro --list 

# pick one and output as NBPT
stbx convert -i myProject.pnpro --one "name" --format=nbpt

# convert all and write to `myProject.nets` as NLL
stbx convert -i myProject.pnpro --all -o myProject.nets

If you convert with --all, the output format is a JSON dictionary of either nbpt or nll object, indexed by page title.
