DPDUSAGE(1)

💅 dpdusage(1) — the "girl, who is even USING this??" detector

okay so you found yourself in the General Commands Manual, and the star of the show is dpdusage(1). she's a tiny little command with a big job and honestly? iconic behaviour. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

dpdusage — find unused definitions 🔍💀

like... it goes through your stuff and points at the definitions nobody's referencing. the social media cleanse but for code. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dpdusage [options] input_file.dpd

so yeah bestie, you hand her some options, you hand her an input_file.dpd, and she does her lil thing 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single one of these, no skips, no cap:

• -with-defs — show EVERYTHING. this is the default, she's a generous queen 👑
• -without-defs — show only Prop objects. just the Props, nothing else, she's being selective 💅
• -rm-trans — remove transitive dependencies. this one is the default too ✨
• -keep-trans — keep transitive dependencies. opposite vibes of the one above 🫶
• -debug — set debug mode. turn it on when you wanna see behind the curtain 🐛
• -threshold — max number of references allowed, and the default is 0. so like, anything at or below your threshold is fair game for "unused" treatment 🍓
• -with-path — print path. default, she's helpful like that 🌸
• -without-path — do NOT print path. she's mysterious now 🙈
• -v — print version and exit. quick lil drive-by, love that for her ⭐
• -help — display this list of options 📋
• --help — display this list of options 📋 (same energy, two dashes this time, she contains multitudes)

ngl bestie, -help and --help do the exact same thing. don't overthink it, just pick one and move on 💖

🌈 that's the whole page, mwah 💋

this lil manual page dropped in June 2022 and she's been living rent free in the General Commands Manual ever since. go find those unused definitions, you main character 🔥👑
