💖 btedit(1) 💖

okay so welcome to the btedit(1) page — literally the General Commands Manual entry for btedit, bestie. it's giving "niche Unix tool with main character energy" and we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

btedit — direct editing of BTREE records, no cap ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

btedit <btree> <rkey>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this manual page documents briefly the btedit command. short and sweet, iykyk 💅

the btedit program is a companion program of the Lifelines genealogy software but may be used with any BTREE database — as long as it uses the same binary arrangement as the lifelines databases. so like, it's flexible, but it has standards 💖

⚠️ only pure ASCII records may be edited with btedit. that's the vibe check, and it is not negotiable 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

this program does not use command-line options. periodt. zero flags, zero drama, we love a minimalist icon 👑

🌈 PARAMETERS 🌈

two parameters are required with the command, bestie — not one, not three, exactly two 🍓

  • btree — directory containing the btree database
  • rkey — key of the edited record

that's the whole parameter situation. concise, iconic, done 💜
