CANCONVERT(1)

💅 CANCONVERT(1) — the user-commands girlie you needed

okay bestie, listen up, because canconvert is literally that girl: she takes your CAN bus database and flips it into a whole other format. glow-up, but for files. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

canconvert — convert between various CAN bus database formats 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Usage (the main character moment)

canconvert [options] import-file export-file

so it's giving two files, one job, no drama. 💖

• import-file — the file you're dragging in, and it has to be one of these lil guys: *.dbc *.dbf *.kcd *.arxml *.json *.xls(x) *.sym
• export-file — the file she's gonna spit back out, also one of: *.dbc *.dbf *.kcd *.arxml *.json *.xls(x) *.sym

fr fr, notice the extension list is the same on both sides — she speaks all these languages and she's fluent in every single one, no cap. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — show all options 🫶 (yes, all of them, she's an open book)
• -v — output verbosity 👀 (turn the chattiness up)
• -s — don't print status messages to stdout. only errors. 🤫 (she goes quiet unless something's actually wrong)
• -f FORCE_OUTPUT — enforce output format, ignoring output file extension (e.g., -f csv) 💀 (she does NOT care what your filename claims, she's doing it her way)

For a list of all available options, please use --help. 🌈
