✨ ct2util(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ct2util(1) — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it's literally your backstage pass to the CheeseCutter 2 utilities (Nov 12 2018) 💖. Yes that date is in the name, no I will not be normal about it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ct2util — the manual page for CheeseCutter 2 utilities (Nov 12 2018). that's it, that's the whole name section, we keep it cute and concise 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ct2util <command> <options> <infile> <-o outfile>

like. command first, then your options, then the file you're feeding in, and then -o outfile for where it goes. the shape of it is giving very "recipe card" energy and honestly? obsessed.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

CheeseCutter 2 utilities (Nov 12 2018) — periodt, that's the whole description, and it comes with two bonus invocation shapes just chilling underneath it:

ct2util import <infile> <infile2> <-o outfile>
ct2util init <binaryfile> <-o outfile>

so like. import wants two infiles (greedy queen), and init wants a binaryfile. noted, saved, screenshotted 📸

💅 COMMANDS 💅

  • prg — export a song (.ct) to a PRG file. slay, ship it to the C64 bestie 🕹️
  • sid — export a song (.ct) to a SID file. the chiptune classic, iconic, no notes 💜
  • dump — dump song data to assembler source. BETA, so be gentle with her 🙈
  • import — copy data from another song without overwriting the player. respectful king behavior fr fr 👑
  • init — create a fresh .ct from a player binary. blank canvas, main character energy ✨

🧚 GENERAL OPTIONS 🧚

  • -o <outfile> — set the output filename. if you don't, she'll just gather one from the input filename herself, independent queen 💅

🔥 EXPORT OPTIONS 🔥

  • -r <addr> — relocate output to address (default = ). yes, the default is literally blank, I'm not playing, that's just what it says 😭
  • -d <num> — set the default subtune, range 1-32. pick your fave 🎀
  • -s <num> — export a single subtune, range 1-32. heads up: this disables -d, they do not coexist, it's giving exclusivity 💀
  • -zp <num> — relocate zero page, valid range 2-. yes, open-ended, she's flexible 🌈
  • -q — don't output information. quiet mode, silent treatment, we love a low-key moment 🤫
little pro tip bestie: prefix value options with '0x' or '$' to indicate a hexadecimal value. hex girlies rise 🫶
