CONVERT(1)

💖 CONVERT(1) — like, the conversion one, bestie 💖

okay so real talk: this is page CONVERT(1) from the User Commands section of the manual, and it's the glow-up story of some raw Colorblind device profile data becoming Argyll data. tiny page, big main character energy. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Convert — no cap, that's the name. It does exactly one thing and it does it well: it takes Colorblind raw device profile data and turns it into Argyll data. it's giving transformation arc 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Convert Colorblind raw device profile data to Argyll data.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it converts. it slays. periodt 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cb2ti3 [-v][-llimit]infileoutfile

yes bestie, the flags and the args are all smushed together like that in the original, and we are not touching it. copy it exactly or the shell will be like "girl what" 😭

so let's break it down:

• -v — Verbose mode. she talks more. she tells you what she's doing. lowkey the best way to run her ngl 👑
• -l limit — Set inklimit in .ti3 file. yes, the flag and the number are friends — -l wants a limit value right after it, so -llimit in the synopsis is -l plus your limit, glued together like a group chat screenshot 💕
• infile — Base name for input .CMY and input .nCIE file. note: it's a base name, not a whole filename — she goes looking for input.CMY and input.nCIE herself 🧚
• outfile — Base name for output .ti3 file. same deal, it's a base name, so she'll build the .ti3 out of it ✨

heads up bestie: infile and outfile are both base names, and in the synopsis they're written stuck together with no space. that's the original's whole deal — don't come for me, come for the manpage 💀
