fq is a command-line binary inspector that brings jq-style querying and transformation to dozens of binary formats. It decodes media containers, image/audio/video metadata, executables, packet captures, archive formats and other binary blobs into structured representations you can filter, map, and transform with familiar jq-like expressions. Key features include an interactive REPL for exploring file structure, streaming JSON output for piping into other tools, format autodetection, and built-in decoders for common media and network formats. Use cases include forensic and incident analysis, reverse engineering, automated metadata extraction, preprocessing media for pipelines, and quick interactive exploration of unknown files. Core advantages are fast, scriptable CLI integration, reusable jq-style filters, and broad format coverage to accelerate binary inspection and automation.
