.chg file format of MONOMAKH-SAPR: Python parsing library

CHG is a container format file used by MONOMAKH-SAPR, a software package for analysis & design of reinforced concrete multi-storey buildings with arbitrary configuration in plan.

CHG is a simple container, which bundles several project files together.

Written and tested by Vladimir Shulzhitskiy, 2017

Minimal Kaitai Struct required: 0.7

This page hosts a formal specification of .chg file format of MONOMAKH-SAPR using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for Python generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the Python runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The Python runtime library can be installed from PyPI:

python3 -m pip install kaitaistruct

Code

Parse a local file and get structure in memory:

data = MonomakhSaprChg.from_file("path/to/local/file.chg")

Or parse structure from a bytes:

from kaitaistruct import KaitaiStream, BytesIO

raw = b"\x00\x01\x02..."
data = MonomakhSaprChg(KaitaiStream(BytesIO(raw)))

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.title # => get title
