ussfc 1.4.1.2

USSF-CSharp (ussfc)

Universal Silent Setup Finder / Console — a C# port of alexandruavadanii/USSF, reimagined as a cross-platform, headless command-line tool.

Given an installer (or any binary stream), ussfc identifies the packaging format and prints the silent-install command line to use.

• Version: 1.4.1.2 (inherited from the upstream AutoIt project)
• Runtime: .NET 10 file-based app (single .cs source, no .csproj)
• License: Apache-2.0

Installation

Download a prebuilt binary

Grab the archive for your platform from the Releases page:

Each archive contains a single self-contained ussfc (or ussfc.exe) binary — no .NET runtime install required.

Run from source (.NET 10 SDK required)

dotnet run ussf.cs -- setup.exe

Or, with the shebang on Unix:

chmod +x ussf.cs
./ussf.cs setup.exe

Usage

ussfc [options] <file_path>
<data> | ussfc [options]

Options

Examples

Analyze a file:

ussfc setup.exe

File: setup.exe
Extension: .exe
Type: NSIS Package
Usage: "setup.exe" /S

Emit JSON:

ussfc --json setup.msi

{
  "file": "setup.msi",
  "extension": ".msi",
  "type": "MSI File",
  "usage": "msiexec.exe /i \"setup.msi\" /qb",
  "notes": ""
}

Pipe a binary from stdin:

cat setup.exe | ussfc --json

Supported file types

Detection combines binary-signature matching (MZ, OLE Compound Document, etc.) with extension and text-content fallbacks.

Building from source

Quick run

dotnet run ussf.cs -- <args>

Publish a single-file binary

dotnet publish ussf.cs \
  -c Release \
  -r <rid> \
  --self-contained true \
  -p:PublishSingleFile=true \
  -o publish

Where <rid> is one of: win-x64, win-arm64, linux-x64, linux-arm64, osx-x64, osx-arm64.

Continuous delivery

Pushing a tag matching v* (e.g. v1.4.1.2) triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds binaries for all six target platforms, bundles them with README.md / LICENSE, generates SHA-256 checksums, and publishes a GitHub Release.

The workflow is also runnable on demand via the Run workflow button (workflow_dispatch).

The version number 1.4.1.2 is preserved from the upstream project's Version.au3 to make the lineage explicit.
