DIME(1)

💖 DIME — like, the dxf2vrml manual page, bestie 💖

okay so real talk: this is the page for dxf2vrml, which lives in section 1 of the general commands manual. it's a whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dxf2vrml — a program to convert .dxf formatted 3-D datasets to .VRML format. that's the whole job. she converts, she serves, she leaves. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dxf2vrml [infile][-ooutfile][-emaxerr][-f][-l]

no cap, that's it. that's the summoning circle. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this manual page documents briefly the dxf2vrml command. briefly! it's a lil summary, not the whole saga. also, heads up bestie: the default infile is stdin, and the default outfile is stdout. so if you just run it with nothing, it's reading from your keyboard vibes and yelling into your terminal. iconic honestly. ✨

this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. not one! rude. instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. 👀

dxf2vrml is a program that...

and yes, the original page literally trails off there with "is a program that..." — we're keeping it fr fr, that's canon. 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below. for a complete description, see the Info files. (the Info files know things. the Info files are the group chat you weren't added to. 🫶)

• infile — default infile is stdin. if you don't hand her a file, she's reading from standard input, periodt.
• -o outfile — default outfile is stdout. name your destination or she's writing straight to your terminal screen.
• -e — Maximum error when tessellating curves. that's the tolerance dial for how chunky the curves get when they're chopped into lil pieces.
• -f — Respect the $FILLMODE header variable. yes ma'am, honor the header. 🎀
• -vrml2 — Write as vrml2. Default is vrml1. so if you don't say anything, you're getting vrml1 energy, no cap.
• -l — Use layer color, ignore the color index. layers over indexes, we said what we said.
• -s — Set sub parameter. (that's what it says, bestie, and we're not inventing lore. 🔥)
• -h — Show usage. the classic "help me help you" flag. 🙈
