CATOF(1)

✨ CATOF(1) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, because we're about to talk about catof — a lil General Commands Manual icon from the cWnn4 era 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

catof — the glow-up tool that converts the text format of grammatical rules into binary format. that's it. that's the job. and she ATE 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

catof [-h cixingfile ] outgrammarfile

🦋 DEFAULT PATH 🦋

she lives here, rent free, no cap:

/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/catof

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so basically this command takes a text file of grammatical rules and converts it into binary format. lowkey a whole transformation arc, main character energy fr fr 🌈

outgrammarfile is the name of the output grammar file. and here's the tea: if you don't specify it, the grammatical rules get passed straight to the standard output (stdout) instead. so she'll just yap them out loud into your terminal, no file needed 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h cixingfile — use this to specify the Cixing definition file. yeah, that's the whole option list. she's minimal, she's chic, she's not doing the most 😌

💀 NOTE 💀

1. the parts sitting inside [ ] are options, bestie. they may be omitted. you don't have to use them, they're optional, periodt ✨
2. for the deets on the structure of the grammar file, go refer to the cWnn manual. iykyk, that's where the lore lives 📖

not me ending this whole thing with the receipts: this page is dated 13 May 1992, and it belongs to CATOF(1). vintage. iconic. a true elder of the manual game 👑💜

k byeeee, go convert some grammatical rules 🧚🍓
