badness-inverse-search(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the badness-inverse-search(1) page from the General Commands Manual — this is the manual for inverse-search, whose entire main-character job is to answer a PDF viewer's inverse (backward) search. that's it, that's the vibe ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

inverse-search [-l|--line] [--line0] [--character] [--ipc-dir]
[-h|--help] [-V|--version] <-i|--input>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, inverse-search answers a PDF viewer's inverse (backward) search. literally its whole thing 💅

Point your viewer's inverse-search command right here — for zathura, it's giving:

--synctex-editor-command "badness inverse-search --input %{input} --line %{line}"

The position gets handed to a running badness language server, which reveals it in your editor via window/showDocument, so the file must belong to a workspace some editor currently has open. no cap, that's the requirement bestie 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -i, --input <PATH> — the .tex file the viewer resolved 💖
• -l, --line <LINE> — line number, counting from 1 — what SyncTeX-aware viewers emit. Required unless --line0 is given. Deliberately not enforced by clap, whose message for that would name only --line and so send a --line0 user the wrong way. yes, this caveat is important, bestie 👑
• --line0 <LINE> — line number counting from 0, for a viewer that reports it that way 🦋
• --character <COLUMN> [default: 0] — column, counting from 0, when the viewer supplies one 🌸
• --ipc-dir <DIR> — directory holding the servers' IPC advertisements. Defaults to $BADNESS_IPC_DIR, then a per-user directory under the runtime (or temporary) directory 🎀
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with '-h') ✨
• -V, --version — print version 💜

⭐ VERSION ⭐

v0.28.0 — that's the version, bestie, and yes it slays 💅
