dssi_list_plugins(1)

💖 dssi_list_plugins — the girlies' guide 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, it's called dssi_list_plugins(1), and honestly? it's giving "let me show you every DSSI plugin you have on this machine" energy. iconic behaviour fr fr.

🌸 NAME 🌸

dssi_list_plugins — list available DSSI plugins ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dssi_list_plugins [-v|--verbose]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. two options max, she's low maintenance 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: dssi_list_plugins goes on a lil shopping trip through a bunch of directories — specifically the ones listed in the environment variable DSSI_PATH — and it's hunting for DSSI (or LADSPA) shared libraries. 🛍️

it reports every library it finds, and then it lists all the plugins hanging out inside that library. like showing you the whole friend group when you find one of them.

but bestie, it has rules:

• it ignores subdirectories, no cap 🙅‍♀️
• it ignores libtool *.la files too

other than that? it will literally complain if any of the files it found are not DSSI or LADSPA shared libraries. not me being picky, it's just standards. 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -v, --verbose — makes dssi_list_plugins be more verbose in its reporting. it will note conditions which are typically ignored by most DSSI hosts, yet may indicate problems, including malformed or unreadable components of DSSI_PATH, directories which contain no plugin libraries, libraries which appear more than once in the DSSI_PATH, and libraries which contain no plugins. 👑

ngl this is the "main character mode" flag. turn it on and suddenly every little red flag in your DSSI_PATH gets called out to your face. which is honestly a public service. 🫶

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• DSSI_PATH — a colon-separated list of directories to scan for DSSI plugins. that's the map, bestie. 🗺️✨

⭐ CONFORMING TO ⭐

DSSI RFC version 1.0. she's certified, she's official, periodt. 💅
