okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally the cutest little viewer in the whole terminal and you're gonna be obsessed 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

durview — no cap, it's the manual page for durview version 0.29.0. she's a viewer, she's iconic, she's giving main character energy 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the vibe: you run durview and it opens up your art files right there in the terminal. the way that it just works? fr fr. here's the whole usage situation:

usage: durview [-h] [--256color | --16color] [--cp437] [-b] [--wrap WRAP]
       [--nomouse] [--theme THEME] [-V] [filename ...]

and now let's break it down piece by piece because every single flag matters, periodt 💅

🫶 positional arguments 🫶

  • filename — the .ANS, .ASC or .dur file(s) you wanna view 👀 drop one, drop a bunch, she'll take 'em.

✨ options ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you this exact help message and then dips out. classic. 💖
  • --256color — tryna go full 256 color mode? say less. 🌈
  • --16color — or if you're feeling a lil more retro-minimal, try 16 color mode. 🎀
  • --cp437 — this one displays extended characters on the screen using Code Page 437 (IBM-PC/MS-DOS) encoding instead of Utf-8. lowkey a whole vibe. ⚠️ it requires a CP437 capable terminal and font, and heads up bestie — it's marked (beta). 🧚
  • -b, --blackbg — uses a black background color instead of whatever your terminal default is. gives it that moody cinematic moment 🖤
  • --wrap WRAP — the number of columns to wrap lines at when loading ASCII and ANSI files. the default is 80. so like, if your art is wider than that, she'll fold it for you 🎁
  • --nomouse — disables mouse support. hands off the mouse, we're keyboard girlies now ⌨️
  • --theme THEME — loads a custom theme file. yes ma'am, customization!! 💜
  • -V, --version — shows the version number and exits. quick lil flex and she's gone ✨
