DUCKTYPE(1)

✨ DUCKTYPE(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ducktype(1) page from the General Commands Manual 💅 this is the whole vibe, let's get into it

🌸 NAME 🌸

ducktype — convert Mallard Ducktype to Mallard XML

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ducktype [--output=OUTPUT|-o OUTPUT] INPUT ...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the ducktype(1) tool does one thing and it does it slay: it converts Mallard Ducktype — which is a lightweight markup language for topic-oriented help — into Mallard XML. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --output=OUTPUT, -o OUTPUT — sets the output file or directory name. if you don't pass this, the default is lowkey smart: it takes each input pathname, yeets any .duck suffix off it, and appends .page. 🫶 also, if there's exactly one input file, then OUTPUT is allowed to be a filename. but if there's more than one input file, OUTPUT must be a directory name, and the files get created in that directory instead of sitting in the same directory as the input. periodt.
