An INV file may also be an object inventory file used by Intersphinx, an extension of the Sphinx documentation system. It is a Zlib-compressed file that contains a list of a documentation project's objects. INV files are typically named objects.inv.
More Information
When a Sphinx user builds their documentation project as a set of HTML files, Sphinx creates an objects.inv file that contains a list of all the project's objects. For example, objects.inv includes a list of all the project's sections, terms, documents, and modules.
The Sphinx extension Intersphinx allows users to link to another project's documentation within their project. Users do this by importing the other project's objects.inv file via the intersphinx_mapping setting. They can then include :ref:, :doc:, and other cross-references that refer to objects listed in the other project's objects.inv file.
Common INV Filenames
Objects.inv - The name Sphinx automatically assigns to a project's object inventory file.
How to open an INV file
You can use Zlib (multiplatform) to decompress an INV file. You can then open the file with Microsoft Visual Studio Code (multiplatform) or another source code or text editor. You can also use Intersphinx to read and output an INV file's contents, provided you have the INV file saved locally.
