E00CONV(1)

💖 E00CONV(1) 💖

General Commands Manual ✨ — ok so bestie, you know that manual page e00conv(1)? Yeah, we're doing this. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

e00conv — Converts Arc/Info E00 files from one level of compression to another. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

e00conv <input_file> <output_file> [NONE|PARTIAL|FULL]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. three little slots and one optional lil bonus argument. iconic.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so listen. e00conv is a program that takes an E00 file as input (compressed or not, she does not care, she accepts you as you are 🫶) and copies it to a new file with the compression level you asked for — and your options are NONE, PARTIAL or FULL. that's the whole job. and she ate. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• input_file — the name of the E00 file to read from. this is your source, your origin story, the file you're pulling from. 📖
• output_file — the name of the file to create. ⚠️ and bestie, if the file already exists then it is overwritten. like, gone. no warning, no "are you sure", no second chances. it's giving main character energy and zero mercy. 😭

not me stressing about that overwrite clause. back up your stuff, fr fr. 💀

• the last argument — this one's optional 💖 and it specifies the compression level to use when creating the output file. it's gotta be one of NONE, PARTIAL or FULL. and if you just don't say anything? the default is NONE (uncompressed). lowkey the chillest default, highkey the most predictable one. no cap.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• The program documentation available in HTML format. 📄✨ (yes, HTML, she's fancy like that)
