Overview

RF Swift provides several utility scripts that simplify common tasks inside containers. These scripts enable advanced functionality, streamline configuration, and help you get the most out of your RF and hardware tools.

Why Container Scripts?

Container scripts extend RF Swift’s capabilities by:

1. Simplifying Complex Tasks: Turn multi-step processes into single commands
2. Enhancing Device Compatibility: Improve functionality with specialized hardware
3. Maintaining Updates: Keep tools and utilities current with minimal effort
4. Enabling Advanced Features: Access capabilities not available in standard configurations
