DEBINHEX(1)

💅 DEBINHEX(1) — the debinhex.pl page, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is debinhex.pl, a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's literally here to tell you how to use Convert::BinHex to decode BinHex files. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

debinhex.pl — bestie. it uses Convert::BinHex to decode BinHex files. that's it, that's the name, we love a straightforward queen. 💖

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

here's the whole usage situation, no cap:

debinhex.pl [options] file ... file

and then, the options — where they are, what they do:

• -o dir — output goes in the given directory, mmkay? and if you don't pass it, the default is that it outputs in the file's own directory. 🫶
• -v — verbose output! normally you just get one line per file shown, but with -v you get the whole chatty situation. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so each file you hand over is expected to be a BinHex file. by default, the output file gets the name that the BinHex file dictates — like, the BinHex file is the main character and it picks the name, regardless of what the BinHex file itself is called. the way that works is honestly iconic. 👑

💀 WARNINGS 💀

Largely untested. that's the warning. that's the whole warning. proceed accordingly, bestie, i'm just the messenger 😭🙈
