Vsdump is a tool developed by the ALT Linux project for reverse engineering the VSD/VSS file format, used for storing graphics, diagrams, and flowcharts.
Vsdump is a software project developed by ALT Linux. Its objective is the reverse engineering of VSD/VSS file formats. To learn more about the project, visit its website. The origins of this project start with Ian Redfern's initial results which were then greatly improved by the knowledge extracted from libgsf. For details regarding the parts of the format discovered, refer to docs/vsdformat.txt.
In terms of coding, Vsdown leverages Jody Goldberg and Morten Welinder's works. The code is currently considered a set of testing utilities that support a format researching process. Additionally, it serves as some kind of documentation. At the moment, the tool can dump version 6 (Visio 2k) and 11 (Visio 2k2 and 2k3) files to something almost but not entirely unlike the XML. When images are embedded, they will be stored in separate files. Text, at least latin-1, will also be recognizable in the 'drawing' dump file.
