2FF(1)

✨ 2FF(1) — the General Commands Manual bestie edition ✨

💖 NAME

okay so this one is 2ff 🎀 — it's the tool that turns an image into farbfeld format. literally convert image to farbfeld, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS

2ff

no flags, no extra args, just vibes 💅

🧚 DESCRIPTION

okay so 2ff reads an image from stdin, converts it to farbfeld(5) and writes the result to stdout 📥➡️📤 it's giving pipeline energy fr fr ✨

2ff is a wrapper script around the farbfeld conversion tools with a fallback to obtaining a PNG using ImageMagick(1) and passing it through png2ff(1). so if the main path doesn't work, it lowkey goes and grabs a PNG with ImageMagick(1) and then runs it through png2ff(1) 🫶

In case of an error, 2ff writes a diagnostic message to stderr 😭 so if something goes sideways, check stderr bestie 🙈

👑 EXIT STATUS

• 0 — Image processed successfully. slay ✨
• 1 — An error occurred. oof 💀

🍓 EXAMPLES

Pipe an image in and get a farbfeld out:

$ 2ff < image.* > image.ff

Or go one step further and compress it with bzip2 on the way out:

$ 2ff < image.* | bzip2 > image.ff.bz2
