USAGE:(1)
π NAME π
ciso β the PSP ISO compression tool of your dreams, bestie π¦
okay so real talk, the manual name here is USAGE:(1) and honestly? it's giving "we didn't have time to name this properly" but the tool itself is iconic, so we move. β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
ciso level infile outfile
that's the whole vibe. three little slots: a level, an infile, and an outfile. no flags, no drama, no nothing. you just tell it how hard to squeeze and what to squeeze. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so the level argument is the main character here, and it does two completely different things depending on what number you hand it, so pay attention bestie π
1β9β compress an ISO into a CSO. the scale is literally a tradeoff and you will feel it:1= fast and large (speed girlies, this is your moment) πβοΈ9= small and slow (patient girlies, we see you) π
so like, the higher the number, the more it shrinks and the longer you wait. 1 = fast/large, 9 = small/slow. that's the whole spectrum. no cap.
0β decompress a CSO back into an ISO. the un-squeeze. the reverse slay. π₯
not me realizing this entire manpage is literally four numbers and a vibe check. the range1β9compresses,0decompresses, and that's it. periodt. π
and yeah, infile is the thing you're feeding it and outfile is where the result lands β the names are not subtle and honestly we respect that π

lowkey nothing else listed here bestie, this page is a one-woman show πβ¨
and that's the whole page, gorgeous π this legendary little manual dropped way back in January 2007 (yes, it's been serving for that long π), and the source line at the bottom just reads Usage: ciso level infile outfile β which, honestly? the most honest manpage footer of all time. go compress something. ily. bye ππ¦π
