okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for cueconvert — yes, that's the one, the little utility from the Cuetools squad. grab a boba, we're doing formats today 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cueconvert — convert files between CUE and TOC formats

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cueconvert [ -i format | --input-format=format ] [ -o format |
--output-format=format ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]
cueconvert -h | --help
cueconvert -V | --version

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so cueconvert converts files between the CUE and TOC formats — both of which are the standard lil languages that CD ripping software speaks when it needs to write down track breakpoints and other data. it's giving translator, but for disc metadata 💅

the operands are optional, no cap. if you don't hand it an infile, cueconvert reads from standard input. and if you don't hand it an outfile, it writes to standard output. easy.

if you specify no filenames at all, standard input is what it uses — and in that case you must specify an input format option. the complementary format is what gets used for output. (so like, it just does the other one. iconic behavior honestly.)

but if you do provide filenames and you don't provide format options, then the input and output formats get guessed based on each filename's suffix — think .cue or .toc. and this heuristic is case-insensitive, so don't stress about your caps lock 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — pops up a usage message and then dips out. exits right after.
• -i format, --input-format=format — sets the expected format of the input file to format.
• -o format, --output-format=format — sets the format of the generated output file to format.
• -V, --version — shows you the version information and exits. slay.

heads up bestie: the option argument format must be either cue or toc. those are the only two, periodt. 🙈

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

cueconvert exits with status zero if it successfully converts the input file, and nonzero if there were problems. so like, zero = we ate, nonzero = something went sideways 😭
