💖 BATTERY-LOG 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge main character energy". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

battery-log — literally just pulls your battery stats out for you 🔋💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

battery-log files ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what it does is: it takes the files you hand it, extracts the battery statistics from them, and sends all of that straight to stdout. no cap, that's the whole vibe. ✨

And here's the cute part: any file whose extension is .gz gets uncompressed automatically. you don't have to do a thing, it just handles it. obsessed. 🎀

Now, if you don't specify any files at all? no worries, it's not gonna be dramatic about it — it just goes and pulls data from

/var/log/battery-stats*

like, it already knows where to look. lowkey thoughtful. 🙈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so… there are no options.

none. zero. the void. she said "I don't need flags, I'm built different." 💀✨

💜 EXIT STATUS 💜

Here's the tea: if any of the files can't be opened, you get a non-zero exit code. so if a script is checking on her, she will absolutely let you know something went wrong. 😭
