ExtensionBlocks

Extension blocks and shell items as found in ShellBags, LNK files, jump lists and other places in the Registry

Parses the 0xbeefXXXX extension blocks found at the end of Windows shell items (ShellBags, LNK files, jump lists). Pass the signature and the block's bytes to Utils.GetExtensionBlockFromBytes to get a typed block (Beef0004, Beef0026, ...); unknown signatures return BeefUnknown, and a damaged block throws. Utils.GetExtensionBlockFromBytesOrError returns a BeefParseError for a damaged block instead.

Since 2026.10.1 it also holds the shell items themselves (ShellBag0X31, ShellBag0X1F, ShellBagMTPFolder, ... one class per type, all IShellBag), moved from ShellBags Explorer so SBECmd, ShellBags Explorer and other tools can share them. Times are shown in Utils.TimeZone (UTC by default) with Utils.DateTimeFormat (the culture's format by default).
