π DVDDIRDEL(1) β the DVDAuthor man pages, bestie edition π
okay so real talk, this one lives in the DVDAuthor manual set, and it's genuinely the chillest little page you'll ever read. no drama, no gotchas, just a tidy little cleanup tool. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
dvddirdel β deletes a previously authored DVD directory structure in DIR ποΈβ¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
dvddirdel [ -o DIR ]
π DESCRIPTION π
dvddirdel safely deletes a previously authored DVD directory structure in DIR. the key word there is safely, okay, because it's not out here nuking your whole folder β only items that look like part of a DVD-Video directory structure are removed. everything else just vibes untouched. it's giving surgical, not chaotic π§
and like, lowkey if all you actually want is to swap out an existing output directory for a brand new one, you don't even need this β dvdauthor(1) can do that directly with its -O option. one tool, one job, periodt. π
π¦ USAGE π¦
dvddirdel -o DIR
that's it, that's the whole thing. queen of minimalism π
π CAVEATS π
None. π
like literally none. nothing to warn you about. no secret footguns, no "actually don't do this on a Tuesday" energy. iconic behaviour fr fr.
π BUGS π
None. β¨
not a single one. we love a flawless main character. π«Ά
