💖 CXPM(1) — General Commands Manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, this is the cxpm page and we're about to vibe-check your XPM files together. ✨ It's giving "tiny parser bestie with a clipboard" energy, and honestly? obsessed. 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

  • cxpm — check an XPM (X PixMap) file, versions XPM 1, 2, or 3. periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cxpm [filename]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the cxpm program can be used to check the format of any XPM file — and yes, versions 1, 2, or 3 are all invited to the party. 🦋

When there's an error, cxpm does something iconic: unlike sxpm, it prints out an error message indicating where the parser choked. 😭 That should help finding out what's wrong with an XPM file, but do not expect too much from it though. This is not even close from being some kind of lint program for XPM. ngl, she's doing a vibe check, not a full audit. 💀

Here's the tea, bestie:

  1. First, it stops at the first error it encounters — so several fix and retry cycles may be necessary to get your file to parse successfully. 🔁
  2. Second, cxpm only cares about the format. If, for instance, your pixmap uses too many colors for your system, you still may experience difficulties displaying it. Be warned. 🚨

When no filename is given, cxpm reads from the standard input. stdin girlie behavior, we love to see it. 🫶
