💖 ARV-TOOL-0.8 💖 — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to ARV-TOOL-0.8(1), section 1, User Commands. this is the manual page for arv-tool-0.8, version 0.8.23, and she is a whole vibe. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

arv-tool-0.8 — manual page for arv-tool-0.8 0.8.23. that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

how you actually run it

arv-tool-0.8 [OPTION?]
       command <parameters>

so it's arv-tool-0.8, then some options if you want them, then a command, then whatever parameters that command is hungry for. simple. elegant. slay ✨

it's a small utility for basic control of a Genicam device. small but mighty, lowkey the whole point, fr fr.

🫶 Help Options

  • -h, --help — show help options. when in doubt, ask her, she'll tell you 💖

👑 Application Options

  • -n, --name=<pattern> — (no description in the original, she's mysterious, iykyk 🙈)
  • -a, --address=<device_address> — (also no description given, keeping it enigmatic ✨)
  • --register-cache={disable|enable|debug} — register cache policy 🗂️
  • --range-check={disable|enable|debug} — range check policy 📏
  • --access-check={disable|enable} — feature access check policy 🔐
  • -t, --time — show execution time ⏱️
  • -d, --debug={<category>[:<level>][,...]|help} — debug stuff, and yes you can literally ask for help 🐛
  • -v, --version — show version, so you can flex the number 💅

🦋 Commands, aka the main character lineup

command may be one of the following possibilities, bestie:

  • genicam — dump the content of the Genicam xml data 📜
  • features — list all features 📋
  • values — list all available feature values 🔢
  • description [<feature>] ... — show the full feature description, and you can pass as many features as you want 💬
  • control <feature>[=<value>] ... — read/write device features. read if you just name it, write if you give it a value ✍️
  • network <setting>[=<value>]... — read/write network settings 🌐
okay important: if no command is given, this utility will list all the available devices. she's like "here's everyone, pick your fave" 🥰
and for the control command specifically, direct access to device registers is provided using a R[address] syntax in place of a feature name. so you can go straight to the hardware. main character energy tbh 🔥

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

these are the receipts, verbatim, no cap:

arv-tool-0.8 control Width=128 Height=128 Gain R[0x10000]=0x10
arv-tool-0.8 features
arv-tool-0.8 description Width Height
arv-tool-0.8 network mode=PersistentIP
arv-tool-0.8 network ip=192.168.0.1 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.0.254
arv-tool-0.8 -n Basler-210ab4 genicam

look at her go. setting a width, setting a height, reading gain, poking a raw register at 0x10000 with 0x10 — she contains multitudes 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie. this was arv-tool-0.8 0.8.23, dated décembre 2022, and honestly she ate. go forth and control your Genicam device, you've got this 💜🦋🎀
