Task 233: .FNI File Format

The .FNI file format is an obscure and proprietary format primarily associated with IBM FileNet Image Services, used for storing native image documents in content management systems. It is also less commonly linked to ALCUGS settings for the Uru game server, where it functions as a text-based configuration file. However, detailed technical specifications, such as byte-level structure or header layouts, are not publicly available for either use case. The FileNet version is proprietary to IBM, and the Uru version is described in community resources as a text file containing console commands, but no complete format documentation or schema was found in searches of web sources, manuals, or wikis.

Based on available information from IBM's System Tools Reference Manual and other sources, the following properties are intrinsic to the FileNet version of the .FNI format (no details were found for the Uru version beyond general text-based settings like fog parameters):

• Document Header (Page 0): Contains attributes, indexing information, size, and location of pages.
• Number of Pages: Includes page 0 as the header; documents have a minimum of 2 pages.
• Page Type: e.g., FN_IMAGE_PAGE_TYPE for image pages.
• Image Format: Supports FILENET (native), CALS, TIFF, IBS, DIS, KIMS.
• Compression Type: Group 3 (G3) or Group 4 (G4).
• Layout: Tiled, Banded, or AutoTiled (based on size and density).
• Checksums: For headers and image data to verify integrity.
• Band Headers: For banded images, including band lists.
• SSN: System Serial Number.
• Document ID: Unique identifier for the document.
• Sector Offset: Storage location on media.
• Attributes: Additional document metadata.
• Bit-Mapped Pages: Number of image pages and their decompression status.

No direct download links for .FNI files were found in searches, as the format is proprietary and not commonly shared publicly. Searches for samples, examples, or filetypes returned no valid file downloads.

Since detailed specifications for parsing .FNI files are not publicly available, I cannot provide accurate HTML/JavaScript code for dumping the properties. A generic drag-and-drop script for reading and displaying the raw contents of any binary file as text or hex could be written, but it would not decode or dump the specific properties listed above without the proprietary format details.

Since detailed specifications for parsing .FNI files are not publicly available, I cannot provide an accurate Python class for decoding, reading, writing, and printing the properties. A generic class for reading raw file contents could be written, but it would not handle the proprietary format.

Since detailed specifications for parsing .FNI files are not publicly available, I cannot provide an accurate Java class for decoding, reading, writing, and printing the properties. A generic class for reading raw file contents could be written, but it would not handle the proprietary format.
