💖 EBZIP(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands corner of the manual, this is ebzip, and she is literally here to compress a CD-ROM book. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ebzip — compress a CD-ROM book 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ebzip [option...] [book-directory]

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here's the whole menu, and yes we're going through every single one because i refuse to gatekeep:

  • -f, --force-overwrite — sets the overwrite mode to force (it's the exact same thing as saying --overwrite force). 🔥
  • -h, --help — shows you this help, then dips. bye 👋
  • -i, --information — lists info about the compressed files. the tea ☕
  • -k, --keep — do not delete the original files, protect them at all costs 🫶
  • -l INTEGER, --level INTEGER — the compression level, and the range is 0..5 (default: 0) ⭐
  • -n, --no-overwrite — sets overwrite mode to no (same as --overwrite no), hands off 🙈
  • -o DIRECTORY, --output-directory DIRECTORY — puts the output files under DIRECTORY (default: .) 💜
  • -q, --quiet, --silence — suppresses all warnings. silence is golden ✨
  • -s TYPE[,TYPE], --skip-content TYPE[,TYPE...] — skips content; your choices are font, graphic, sound or movie (default: nothing is skipped, we take it all) 🎀
  • -S SUBBOOK[,SUBBOOK...], --subbook SUBBOOK[,SUBBOOK...] — picks the target subbook (default: all subbooks, main character energy) 👑
  • -t, --test — only checks for input files, no actual doing 💀
  • -u, --uncompress — uncompresses files, the reverse slay 🌈
  • -v, --version — displays the number, then exits 🧚
  • -w MODE, --overwrite MODE — sets the overwrite mode for output files; options are confirm, force or no (default: confirm) 🌸
  • -z, --compress — compresses files, the classic 💖

🌟 Argument: 🌟

  • book-directory — the top directory of a CD-ROM book (default: .) 🍓

🦋 Default action: 🦋

okay so this part is lowkey iconic, the program sniffs out who she's being called as:

  • when she's invoked as ebunzip, uncompression is the default action.
  • when she's invoked as ebzipinfo, listing information is the default action.
  • otherwise?? compression is the default action. periodt. 💅

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭
