A command line tool included with ZHLT and derivatives that is used for exporting and importing a list of entities to/from a BSP file.
It's commonly used to make minor entity-only edits to BSP files without changing the BSP version, creating a serverside-only modification of it.
Available commands
mapfile The filename of the BSP map to process
-export Export an entity list from a BSP file
-import Import an entity list to a BSP file
-parse Seems to mostly just "pretty print" the entity list when used in conjunction with -export
-textureexport Export texture data
-textureimport Import texture data
-textureparse Used in conjunction with -textureexport to create a plaintext .tex file listing textures used in the map
-writeextentfile Write an .ext for the map
-deleteembeddedlightmaps Delete lightmaps created by RAD
-texdata # Change the max texture memory limit (in kB, default 4MB)
-lightdata # Change the max lighting memory limit (in kB)
-chart Similar to the compile tools command. Prints a table of map statistics
-noinfo Do not print tool configuration info table at the beginning
-pause Pause the process before exit (prevent the window from closing immediately after finish)
