🌸 NAME 🌸

manual β€” Generate manual pages to a directory. no cap, that's the whole name vibe 🫢

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

manual [-h|--help] <DIR>

like, that's literally the whole invocation, bestie 🌈

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea: this command generates manual pages (following the man page format) to the given directory. it's giving β€œbuild me a man-page destination” and I'm obsessed πŸ’–

if the directory does not exist, it will be created. no cap, she makes it happen ✨

any existing man pages will be overriden. yes, overriden is the word from the source β€” existing man pages get replaced, so maybe don't point her at your precious collection unless you're ready πŸ’€

πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • -h, --help β€” Print help (see a summary with '-h'). lowkey iconic, highkey useful πŸŽ€
  • <DIR> β€” Directory where man files should be generated in. this is the place she drops the man pages πŸ’–

πŸ’– cute sign-off: the source/version footer says manual, and the date-ish footer says manual(1) β€” that's literally what was printed, bestie, so we're not inventing a date πŸ’€ periodt. πŸ’–
