✨ dir2vclt — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the dir2vclt(1) page from the System User's Manual: dir2vclt 🎀 this is the whole thing, no skips, no skimming, we're doing this properly 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dir2vclt — turns a directory or a file into a VCLT playlist. that's it, that's the job 🦋

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

dir2vclt [OPTIONS] {SourceDir|SourceFile} [{PlaylistFile|-}]

so like, options first, then your source (either a dir or a file, pick one babe), then optionally where the playlist goes 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This tool converts a directory or a file to a VCLT playlist. literally its whole personality ✨

If playlist file is not given or is - the playlist is written to stdout.

so if you're too lazy to name a file (no judgement, same) or you just throw a - in there, it goes straight to stdout. iconic behaviour, honestly 💀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --help, -h — Print this help. your lil "what does this even do" button, we love her 💜
  • --metadata — Add meta data to playlist. yes queen, give it the lore 🎀
  • --no-metadata — Do not add meta data to playlist. minimalism era, we respect it 🦋
  • --length — Add playback length to playlist. how long is the vibe, numerically 🌸
  • --no-length — Do not add playback length to playlist. keep it mysterious, sure 💅
  • --path-mode=keep — Keep filenames as they are. exactly as found, no glow-up, no edits 🫶
  • --path-mode=absolute — Try to make filenames absolute. try, bestie, it's doing its best 😭
