💿 DRUMSTICK-DUMPSMF(1) 💿

okay bestie, welcome to the drumstick-dumpsmf page — that's the manual name right there in the corner, and honestly? it's a whole vibe. this is a User Commands situation, so let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

drumstick-dumpsmf — a Drumstick command line utility for decoding standard MIDI files. yep, that's the whole elevator pitch, and it ate 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

drumstick-dumpsmf [options] {FILE}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this program is a Drumstick example and utility program, which means it's both a demo and a real tool you can actually use, no cap. you can use it to decode a standard MIDI file as text — literally just turns your .mid into readable words on your screen. it's giving translator energy 🧚

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

the required one (yes, you gotta give it this) 🌈

  • FILE — the name of the input SMF. that's your Standard MIDI File, bestie. no file, no decode. periodt.

the optional ones (free extras, we love) 💜

  • -h|--help — prints a summary of the command-line options and exit. a lil cheat sheet, then it dips 👋
  • -v|--version — prints the program version number and exit. quick flex of which build you're running 🏷️
