File Synthesis
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Combining different filetypes into a single file, such that the appropriate data is preserved with respect to how the file is being read. This is usually accomplished by concatenating the files together.
[edit] Works with any combination of the following
- 7ZIP
- JPG
- MP3
- PNG
- RAR
[edit] Examples
In Windows:
copy /B foo.jpg + bar.rar foobar.jpg
In *nix:
cat foo.jpg bar.rar > foobar.jpg
Both of these examples will create a file named foobar.jpg, that when viewed graphically is identical to foo.jpg, but when unrar'd contains the contents of bar.rar.
