alpm-srcinfo-format(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for alpm-srcinfo-format(1), bestie — title and manual name folded right in, no cap 🫶. The page is alpm-srcinfo-format, and it exists to format a SRCINFO file from a path or stdin. It’s giving “useful little formatter” main character energy, and honestly? Obsessed. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole invocation is literally this:

alpm-srcinfo format [-s|--schema] [-o|--output-format] [-p|--pretty]
[-h|--help] [FILE]

slay. keep it exactly like that and you’re set. ✅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Format a SRCINFO file from a path or stdin. fr fr, that’s the whole assignment. 💖

If the file is valid, the program prints the data in the requested file format to stdout and returns with an exit status of 0. periodt — happy path ate, data out, zero status, we love to see it. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -s, --schema <VERSION> — provide the SRCINFO schema version to use. if no schema version is provided, it will be deduced from the file itself. iykyk, it’s doing detective work. 🔍
• -o, --output-format <OUTPUT_FORMAT> — provide the output format. the original label has [default: srcinfo], so default: srcinfo, ngl. possible values are:
  • json: The JSON output format
  • srcinfo: The SRCINFO output format
• -p, --pretty — pretty-print the output. only applies to formats that support pretty output and is otherwise ignored. so if your chosen format isn’t into it, it’s lowkey ignored — no drama, bestie. 💅
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h'). yes, it really says that, and yes, -h is the short summary vibe. 🫶
• [FILE] — the file to read from. if no file is provided, stdin is used instead. so you can pipe it in like an icon. 🌈

mwah 💋 and that’s the page! footer sign-off from the original is alpm-srcinfo-format / alpm-srcinfo-format(1) — that’s the source/version-and-date stamp vibe, right there at the end, bestie. 💖
