💅 DTC(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie so you found the DTC(1) page, iconic, but lowkey this specific one is all about one lil utility. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

convert-dtsv0 — Device Tree Compiler -- Conversion to Version 1 🌳

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/usr/bin/convert-dtsv0 [<input_filename ... >]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so convert-dtsv0 is this tiny lil utility program (small but mighty, fr fr) that converts DTS — that's Device Tree Source — from the obsolete version 0 to version 1. 💀 yeah, version 0 is giving ancient history, we don't do that anymore.

and how do you know a file is already version 1? it's marked by this line at the top of the file:

/dts-v1/;

that's the vibe check right there. ✨

every file you pass in gets converted to the new /dts-v1/ version, and it does that by creating a new file with a "v1" appended to the filename. so your original stays exactly where it was, no cap. 🎀

and the best part?? comments, empty lines, etc. are preserved. 😭✨ nothing gets lost, everything stays cute and intact.

💡 heads up bestie: this tool only does version 0 → version 1. it's a glow-up, not a makeover in reverse. and version 0 is obsolete, so if you're still on it... it's giving 2006. we love growth tho 💅
