💖 el(1) — the General Commands Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're reading the el man page together and honestly? it's giving quietly powerful. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

el — a program to make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

el [-acdfhioxV]  [--command cmd]  [--args n]  [--format fmt]
[--execute]  [--inpipe buf]  [--outpipe buf]  [--serial]  [--help]
[--version]  [--debug]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page documents briefly the el command. that's literally the assignment. 💖

and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. nope. instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format — see below, babes. 🎀

so what even is el? it's a program that you can make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner with. no cap. this command can send S-exp to Emacs, and this can make Emacs evaluate it, too. 🧚

in other words? you can execute Emacs's function from shell-commands. and you can make Emacs work in closer cooperation with your favorite shell-commands. it's giving main character energy for your terminal, fr fr. 👑

💅 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. 🌈

• -c cmd, --command cmd — cmd means a function of Elisp. command line arguments and data from stdin means arguments of cmd. if you specify the only -c switch, el output one S-exp by one line of stdin. 🍓
• --a n, --args n — specifies the maximum number of arguments of a Elisp function with -c switch.
• -f fmt, --format fmt — allows you to use format string of printf for making a S-exp. ✨
• -x, --execute — requests to Oneliner to evaluate the S-exp to use Oneliner auto-eval buffer. 🔥
• -i buf, --inpipe buf — gets input from pipe-buffer. you can specify a number of pipe-buffer, too. 💧
• -o buf, --outpipe buf — puts output to pipe-buffer. you can specify a number of pipe-buffer, too. 💧
• -s, --serial — makes el to serialize multiple lines to one line. 🧵
• -h, --help — display help message. 🫶
• -V, --version — display version identifiers. 👑
• -d, --debug — enable debugging state. 🙈

slay, you now know el(1). go make some S-exps. periodt. 💅✨
