💖 BEARING(1) — the girlypop guide 💖

okay so bestie, this is man(1)'s page for bearing, and I'm about to make it make sense. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

bearing — returns the azimuth bearing and great circle path distance between two specified points 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bearing file

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍓: bearing reads a pair of .qth files that you specify on the command line, and it hands you back the azimuth bearing and the great circle path distance between those two points. literally that's it. it's giving calculator but cute.

and bestie, there's a -metric switch available, so you can get those distances in kilometers instead of statute miles if that's more your vibe. 🌈

now, SPLAT! also provides similar distance and bearing info between two specific site locations — but here's the thing 👑: the bearing utility gives you that info quickly and easily over great distances without you having to run SPLAT! at all. no whole production, just the answer. periodt. 💅

✨ EXAMPLES ✨
