✨ cacaplay ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libcaca corner of the manual pages, this one's cacaplay from the General Commands Manual and it is literally the cutest little player you ever did see 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

cacaplay — play libcaca files 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cacaplay [FILE]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so cacaplay plays libcaca animation files. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

and the way you make those files? okay so any libcaca program can do it, you just set the CACA_DRIVER environment variable to raw and then store that program's standard output. that's it. that's the recipe. 🫶

if you don't pass a file argument at all, or you pass - instead, cacaplay will read its data from the standard input. pipe-friendly, iconic, we love to see it.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

first one, the classic:

cacaplay file.caca

second one, the pipeline moment, main character energy fr fr:

CACA_DRIVER=raw CACA_GEOMETRY=80x32 cacademo | cacaplay
