BLIND-READ-HEAD(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

hey bestie, welcome to the BLIND-READ-HEAD(1) page from the General Commands Manual ✨ blind-read-head — reads the head from a video. That’s the whole assignment, and she ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

blind-read-head

no args, no flags, just pure command-line main character energy 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so blind-read-head reads the head from a video on stdin, and prints it — without the magic number — to stdout 🌸. The output will contain: the number of frames, <space>, the width, <space>, the height, <space>, and the pixel format. It’s text, so of course it ends with a <newline> 🎀.

lowkey important: no excess bytes are read, so blind-next-frame(1) can be used to get the first, and any following, frame from stdin 🔥
