ELCONV(1)

💖 ELCONV(1) — the glow-up era 💖

okay so bestie, this is a General Commands Manual page, section 1, for a lil tool called elconv. it's giving "quiet sidekick who does all the work" energy and honestly? we love her for it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

elconv — a conversion program for ELOG messages 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

elconv [ -v ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, the Electronic Logbook (that's ELOG, keep up 🍓) is this thing that lets you store and retrieve messages through a Web interface. iconic behaviour, truly. depending on how it's set up, the ELOG system can host one or more logbooks, and those logbooks live in separate sections on the server. very organized. very demure. ✨

and then there's elconv: a lil support tool whose whole job — her entire main character arc — is converting ELOG messages from the old format into the current format. glow-up complete. 👑

how do you run her? literally just run elconv in the directory where all the *.log files live. that's the move. and if you've got several directories with log files? you run it once in each directory. no shortcuts, no skipping, one at a time. periodt. 💅

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

elconv accepts the following option (yes, just the one, she's low-maintenance):

  • -v — verbose output. she tells you what she's doing. communication queen. 💬✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

also, the full documentation for ELOG is maintained as an html manual, and you can reach it from the package document directory. go read it, bestie, it's a whole thing. 📖💖

okay and before you go — the very last line of the page says it was dated January 15, 2003, and it came from the General Commands Manual (section 1, as established 💅). so yeah. 2003 called, it wants its logbook conversion back, and honestly she still ate. 🎀✨ bye bestie!
