💖 CREATE(1) 💖

okay bestie, you've landed in the User Commands section of the manual and the page is CREATE(1). grab a strawberry 🍓, hydrate, and let's go — this one's short but it's iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

Create — Create CCMX or CCSS.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Create CCMX or CCSS.

that's it. that's the description. main character energy, no notes. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ccmxmake [-options] output.ccmx

so ccmxmake takes some options, and you hand it an output file, and it does its thing. now let's do the options one by one, no skipping, fr fr 🫶

• -v — Verbose mode. it will yap about what it's up to (lovingly).
• -S — Create CCSS rather than CCMX. plot twist.
• -f file1.ti3[,file2.ti3] — Create from one or two .ti3 files rather than measure. one file, or two comma-separated, your call bestie.
• -display displayname — Choose X11 display name.
• -d n[,m] — Choose the display n from the following list (default 1). Optionally choose different display m for VideoLUT access.

and here's that list, verbatim, because it's ✨specific✨:

1 name = ':0.0' 1 = 'Screen 1, Output DVI-I-1 at 0, 0, width 1920, height 1080'

• -dweb[:port] — Display via a web server at port (default 8080).
• -p — Use telephoto mode (ie. for a projector) (if available). say cheese 📸
• -P ho,vo,ss[,vs] — Position test window and scale it ho,vi: 0.0 = left/top, 0.5 = center, 1.0 = right/bottom etc. ss: 0.5 = half, 1.0 = normal, 2.0 = double etc.
• -F — Fill whole screen with black background.
• -n — Don't set override redirect on test window.
• -N — Disable initial calibration of instrument if possible.
• -H — Use high resolution spectrum mode (if available).
• -C "command" — Invoke shell "command" each time a color is set.
• -o observ — Choose CIE Observer for CCMX spectrometer data: 1931_2 (def), 1964_10, S&B 1955_2, shaw, J&V 1978_2.
• -s steps — Override default patch sequence combination steps (default 1).
• -W n|h|x — Override serial port flow control: n = none, h = HW, x = Xon/Xoff.
• -D [level] — Print debug diagnostics to stderr.
• -E desciption — Override the default overall description.
• -I displayname — Set display make and model description.
• -T displaytech — Set display technology description (ie. CRT, LCD etc.).
• -U c — Set UI selection character(s).
• -Y r|n — Set or override refresh/non-refresh display type.
• -Y R:rate — Override measured refresh rate with rate Hz.
• -Y A — Use non-adaptive integration time mode (if available).
• correction.ccmx | calibration.ccss — File to save result to. 👑 this one is literally the whole point, bestie, it's where the result goes.

lowkey important: yes, -Y shows up three separate times, with three different argument shapes. that's not a typo, that's just how she lives. don't merge them, don't "fix" them. 🙈

and that's the page!! 🦋 this one came from ccmxmake, dated September 2014, and it lives in the manual as CREATE(1). take care of her, she's been serving since 2014 and she ate. ✨💖✨
