CPTINFO(1)

📦 version 1.82, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 cptinfo — like, the manual page, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to cptinfo(1) from the User commands section, and honestly? it's giving "small tool, big helpfulness". let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cptinfo — prints summary information on GMT colour palette table (cpt) files. no cap, that's literally the whole job and it does it gorgeously 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cptinfo [-c] [-h] [-o path] [-p] [-v] [-V] [path]

like yes, that's a lot of little flags but they're all iconic in their own way, we'll get to each one 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the cptinfo utility prints summary information on the colour palette table (cpt) file which is its input. that's it, that's the vibe — you hand it a cpt file and it tells you what's inside, main character energy only 👑

and here's the cute part: the program will read from stdin if a file is not specified as the final argument, and write to stdout if the --output option is not specified. so if you're feeling lazy (same) you can just pipe stuff in and let it spill out into your terminal. flexible. obsessed. 💜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -c, --csv — outputs in a comma separated value format, suitable for easy parsing by other programs. machine-readable, lowkey the moment your scripts needed 😌
  • -h, --help — brief help. short and sweet, a little snack of information 🍓
  • -o, --output path — writes the output to path, rather than stdout. redirect your fave info to a file, no biggie ✨
  • -p, --plain — outputs in a plain human-readable format. just you and the words, bestie 🎀
  • -v, --verbose — verbose operation. it will yap (affectionate) 🗣️
  • -V, --version — version information. for when you simply must know which era of this tool you're living in 🌈
heads up bestie: the synopsis shows [path] as the optional final argument, so if you don't give one, remember — it reads from stdin 💖
