✨ affix(1) — NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for affix, the tool that fixes a corrupted AFF file 🔧💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

affix — fix a corrupted AFF file 🦋

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

affix [options] file1 file2 file3 ...

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so affix is literally the fixer for an AFF file that's gone corrupt 😭 it looks at it, and if the file doesn't have a GUID yet, it gives it one ✨ no cap, that's a main character glow-up 👑

this tool is part of the AFFLIBv3 library, which is what actually provides AFF 🎀

ngl AFF is an open and extensible file format for storing disk images and their associated metadata 💜 it's super useful in a bunch of situations, like computer forensics investigations 🔥 the vibe is very "store it all, stay organized" 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -y — okay this one's the big one 💥 it actually modifies the files! Without it, affix just reports the problems and leaves everything alone 🙈
• -v — just prints the version number and exits 🍓
