CFTE(1)

💖 CFTE — bestie, it's the cfte page from your General Commands Manual 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

cfte — compiles fte config files 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cfte sourcefile [destfile]

🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

okay so real talk, this page is just a lil baby overview of cfte, no cap.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but bestie, anyone can use it, it's not gatekept), because the original program literally does not have a manual page. Instead it's got documentation in html format — see below, iykyk. 👑

So what does cfte actually do? It compiles the .fterc binary for fte(1) from human readable sources. That's the whole vibe. And if you want examples of what these source files look like, they're living at /usr/share/doc/fte/config-example.tar.gz 🎀

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

• cfte /usr/share/doc/fte/config/main.fte — compiles the example config tree to fte-new.cnf ✨
• cfte main.fte ~/.fterc — compiles the main.fte (in current directory, yes the one right there) to ~/.fterc 💫

🌈 FILES 🌈

• ~/.fterc — the Default Configuration file, main character energy fr. Includes All keybinding and menus compiled with cfte from config files in /usr/share/doc/fte/config/main.fte. Also there's a sample .fterc in /etc/fte/system.fterc 👀
• *.fte — Configuration sources. The syntax of these files is explained in /usr/share/doc/fte/contents.html 📖
