dssi_analyse_plugin(1)

💖 dssi_analyse_plugin 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and the command we're obsessing over is dssi_analyse_plugin. yes it's a lot of letters. yes it's worth it. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dssi_analyse_plugin — describe a DSSI plugin 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dssi_analyse_plugin [-v|--verbose] [path]<libname>[:<label>]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two little bracket groups and a colon. iconic.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so dssi_analyse_plugin lists information about DSSI plugins living inside a DSSI shared library called libname. like, it goes in, it looks around, it reports back. a whole little reconnaissance mission 🕵️♀️

if you give it a label, then it will only list info for the plugin labeled label. no label? then it's listing all the plugins in that shared library. every single one. no skips. no crumbs. 💖

and if you don't hand it a path? don't stress — it goes searching for the shared library in that colon-separated list of directories kept in the environment variable DSSI_PATH. she'll find it. she always does. 🧚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -v, --verbose — makes dssi_analyse_plugin be more verbose in its reporting. and specifically? it will list the default program names for each plugin, if any. "if any" is doing a LOT of work there, so don't come for her if some plugin has none. it's giving thorough. it's giving detail-oriented. periodt. ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

first up: this one shows you info about all of the plugins in the shared library /usr/local/lib/dssi/calf.so, and yes it includes default program names because we said -v like the main character we are 👑

$ dssi_analyse_plugin -v /usr/local/lib/dssi/calf.so

and this one? this one goes looking for the shared library trivial_sampler.so using DSSI_PATH, then displays information about the mono_sampler plugin. look at that colon doing its thing, we love a delimiter 💜

$ dssi_analyse_plugin trivial_sampler.so:mono_sampler

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

• DSSI_PATH — a colon-separated list of directories to scan for DSSI plugins. that's the whole job description. colon-separated. directories. scanned. slay 🍓
