DPD2DOT(1)

💖 DPD2DOT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section, we're looking at dpd2dot and honestly? it's giving glow-up energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dpd2dot — reads a .dpd file and spits out a graph file in the .dot format 🦋

like. it takes your dpd. it makes it dot. that's the whole vibe. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dpd2dot [options] input_file.dpd

you give it an input_file.dpd, you optionally throw some options at it, it does its thing 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

bestie there are literally ten of these and we're covering every single one, no skipping, no cap 🫶

• -o — name of output file (default: name of input file .dot). so if you don't say anything, it just takes your input filename and slaps .dot on the end. iconic behaviour honestly.
• -with-defs — show everything. this one is the default, so it's already the main character unless you say otherwise 👑
• -without-defs — show only Prop objects. just the Props. nothing else invited to the party 🙈
• -rm-trans — remove transitive dependencies. also a default, so this is the baseline vibe.
• -keep-trans — keep transitive dependencies. the opposite of the default. if you want them kept, you gotta ask 🌈
• -graphname — name of graph (default: name of input file). cute little label for your graph, defaults to whatever your input file was called.
• -debug — set debug mode. turn it on when you need to see what's going on under the hood 🔥
• -v — print version and exit. quick lil version check and then it dips 💨
• -help — Display this list of options. yes this exact list. hi, you're here 💖
• --help — Display this list of options. same energy, one extra dash. both of them work, we love options 😭

ngl, notice how both -help and --help do the literal exact same thing? not a typo, that's just how it is. love that for us.
