💖 edfcat(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for edfcat — that's the page name, that's the header, we're not debating it 💅 — and the actual program living inside it is agh-profile-gen. yes the name on the tin and the name in the code are two different names. iconic behaviour, honestly. anyway, strap in, this is a short one and it's genuinely useful.

🌸 NAME 🌸

agh-profile-gen — a sleep profile generator that uses various metrics, and it eats EEG recordings for breakfast 🥣✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

edfcat OPTIONS FILE

so it's just options then a file. no crumbs. periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

agh-profile-gen produces PSD, MC or SWU profiles of an EEG recording.

that's the whole job. it takes your recording and gives you profiles. the flags below are how you tell it which profiles and how to slice them up 🎀

  • -h, --channel=CHANNEL — use this channel. heads up, it's 0-based, so the first channel is 0, not 1 🙈 don't get caught out bestie.
  • -i, --step=STEP — the step, measured in seconds.
  • -M, --mc-params=SCOPE:F0FC:BANDWIDTH:IIR_BACKPOLATE:GAIN:SMOOTH — the MC parameters. yes babes, it's all crammed into one colon-separated value, in exactly that order, no cap 🫶
  • -p, --page=PAGESIZE — page size, in seconds.
  • -P, --psd-params=BINSIZE — PSD binsize, in seconds, and it has to be one of .1, .25, .5 — those exact values, nothing else, the vibes are non-negotiable.
  • -S, --swu-params=MIN_UPSWING_LEN — the SWU parameters.
  • -t, --profile=pms — which profile(s) to generate. lowercase letters, and here's the decoder ring: p = PSD, m = MC, s = SWU. you can stack them, hence pms 💖
  • -?, --help — gives you this help list. friendship.
  • --usage — gives you a short usage message. the tl;dr version 🌈
  • -V, --version — prints the program version.
lowkey note: -h is not help here, it's the channel flag. the help flag is -?. screaming, crying, throwing up, but now you know 💀
