🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

backup-labeltape [-force] TAPEID

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍵 — backup-labeltape will display the tape label. and it will also label the tape with TAPEID, unless the tape already has a label. it's giving "respect the existing label, bestie" 🙈

but wait — if you're feeling spicy, the -force option will over-write the current label 👀 (the original also mentions a test option here, fr fr).

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -force — over-write an existing tape label. it's the "i said what i said" flag 🔥
• TAPEID — the new label to write to the tape 🏷️ the main character of this whole operation, ngl.
