🎀 ADEPT_REMOVE(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the adept_remove page — that's the manual name right there, and yeah, it's a User Commands situation, so you already know it's a command-line girly 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

adept_remove — remove ADEPT DRM (from Adobe) of EPUB/PDF file 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

adept_remove [OPTIONS] file(.epub|pdf)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Remove ADEPT DRM (from Adobe) of EPUB/PDF file. That's the whole vibe. No cap. 🔥

---

👑 Global Options:

• -O, --output-dir — optional output directory where the result goes (default is ./, iykyk)
• -o, --output-file — optional output filename (default inplace DRM removal>)
• -f, --input-file — backward compatibility moment: the EPUB/PDF file to process
• -v, --verbose — increase verbosity, and yes you can set it multiple times (stack it, queen 💅)
• -V, --version — display libgourou version
• -h, --help — this help 🫶

---

🧚 ADEPT Options:

• -D, --adept-directory — the .adept directory, which must contain device.xml, activation.xml and devicesalt
• -d, --device-file — the device.xml file from your eReader
• -a, --activation-file — the activation.xml file from your eReader
• -k, --device-key-file — private device key file (eg devicesalt/devkey.bin) from your eReader 🔑

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

okay so the device file, activation file and device key file are all optionals — literally optional, not required. If you don't set them, they get looked into (in this order, bestie):

• $ADEPT_DIR environment variable
• /home/<user>/.config/adept
• Current directory
• .adept
• adobe-digital-editions directory
• .adobe-digital-editions directory

it's giving "it's in one of these spots somewhere" energy — check $ADEPT_DIR first before you start spiralling 😭
