💖 EBSTOPCODE — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is ebstopcode, a little tool from the EB Library (that's the CD-ROM book thing, iykyk 📚). It's here to analyze a text stop code of a CD-ROM book. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ebstopcode [option...] [book-directory] subbook

like… you give it a subbook, you can give it a book-directory too, and you can sprinkle options on top. that's the shape of it 🎀

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -c CODE, --code CODE — you set the stop code manually, yourself, with your own two hands. no guessing, you're the main character here 👑
  • -h, --help — prints this help and then dips. exit, gone, bye ✨
  • -l LENGTH, --text-length LENGTH — the maximum length of output text. default is 2048, no cap fr (well… 2048 is the cap, literally 😭)
  • -n, --no-candidates — suppresses the stop code candidates. like, don't even show me the options, just the answer 💀
  • -p PAGE:OFFSET, --text-position PAGE:OFFSET — where the text should start. it's a PAGE:OFFSET situation, colon and all 🦋
  • -v, --version — displays the number and then exits. that's it, that's the whole job 🍓

🧚 Argument 🧚

  • book-directory — the top directory of a CD-ROM book. it defaults to . (yes, the current directory, we love a shortcut 🫶)

📣 REPORTING BUGS
