💅 alpm-repo-files-format(1) — the group-chat guide

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for alpm-repo-files-format, from the General Commands Manual section — like, top-level iconic behavior. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

alpm-repo-files-format — reads and validates alpm-repo-files data and hands it back to you in another file format. That's literally the whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

alpm-repo-files format [-i|--input-file] [-f|--format] [-o|--output]
[-p|--pretty] [-h|--help]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Read and validate alpm-repo-files data and return it in another file format. Yes, that's it, that's the vibe check ✨

Now here's the tea on what happens at the end: if the data can be validated, the program exits with the data returned in another file format on stdout, and an exit code of zero. Slay. But — if the file can not be validated, an error is emitted on stderr and the program exits with a non-zero exit code. So like, if you see nonzero, bestie, something went wrong 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -i, --input-file <INPUT_FILE> — an input file to read from. If no file is provided, stdin is used instead (she'll just wait for you to type, no pressure 💀). May also be specified with the ALPM_REPO_FILES_FORMAT_INPUT_FILE environment variable.
• -f, --format <OUTPUT_FORMAT> [default: json] — set the output format. May also be specified with the ALPM_REPO_FILES_FORMAT_OUTPUT_FORMAT environment variable. Possible values, bestie:
  • json: the JSON output format. 🔥
  • v1: the alpm-repo-files output format.
• -o, --output <OUTPUT> — a file path to write to. May also be specified with the ALPM_REPO_FILES_FORMAT_OUTPUT environment variable.
• -p, --pretty — determines whether the output will be displayed in a pretty non-minimized fashion. Like, she gets to dress up instead of being squished into one line 🎀 Only applies to formats that support pretty output, otherwise it is ignored — no cap, it just quietly does nothing. May also be specified with the ALPM_REPO_FILES_FORMAT_PRETTY environment variable.
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h). Short version for when you're in a hurry, iykyk.

pro tip from me to you: those environment variables are all or nothing, so if you're already passing the flag, don't be surprised when the vibe is set twice 💖
