👑 CLIT — the manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, so CLIT lives in the General Commands Manual section and honestly? she's an icon. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

clit — the program that manipulates Microsoft Reader .LIT files. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

three ways to pull up, pick your fighter:

1.  clit [options] litfile.lit subdir/
2.  clit [options] oldfile.lit newfile.lit
3.  clit [options] oldfile.lit newfile.lit inscription

no cap, that's literally the whole syntax. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page documents the clit command briefly — like a lil summary, a teaser, the trailer before the movie. 🍓

ConvLIT is the program that converts Microsoft Reader format eBooks [LIT] into an open format. she's giving freedom, she's giving liberation, she's giving "your books, your rules." 🌈

clit supports three modes of operation, and yes we're doing them as a numbered list because the original said so:

  1. Explosion — expanding a .LIT file into an OEBPS compliant package. that's the original XML / HTML source, out in the open, fully exposed, main character energy. 💥
  2. Downconverting — converts to DRM1 format. also known as sealing the LIT file. lowkey a glow-up in reverse but okay. 🔥
  3. Inscribing — similar to #2 (so, downconverting coded), but this one adds a label, or inscription, to the ebook. it's literally writing "this belongs to you" on it. personalized. iconic. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

a lil summary of options is included below. for the complete description, run the program with no arguments at all — she'll tell you herself, iykyk. 🫶

  • -d — disables creating multiple subdirectories. one folder, no nesting, keep it simple bestie. 🌸
  • -h — shows a summary of options. the lil help menu. your best friend when you're lost. 🙈
  • -k /path/to/keys.txt — okay so the DRM5 key file is assumed to be called keys.txt and assumed to be sitting in the current directory. if it's not there (rude), use this option to tell ConvLIT exactly where to find the key file. queen behavior, honestly. 🗝️💜
