BRFS(1)

💖 brfs — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so. you know how in node you be writing fs.readFileSync() and it just... reads a file at runtime? 🫣 brfs said "not on my watch" and inlines that whole call right into your code. it's giving build-step magic, fr fr. this is the brfs(1) page, and yes we're reading it together because that's what besties do. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

brfs [File]

like. that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically brfs takes your file, hunts down every inline fs.readFileSync() function call inside it, and inlines them — then prints the transformed file contents straight to stdout. slay. ✨

and here's the cute part: File can be omitted entirely, or you can literally just pass - and it'll read from stdin instead. lowkey iconic behavior if you ask me. 🦋
