__ifstool__ is a portable open-source reimplementation of QNX's [mkifs](https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/8.0/com.qnx.doc.neutrino.utilities/topic/m/mkifs.html), that is able to pack, unpack and analyze x86_64 BIOS and UEFI QNX IFS images, compressed or not, bootable or not, using the same script file-based syntax as mkifs. Most of the mkifs options are supported. Can be built as a **native QNX tool**. Already used in production in some places.
