💖 ENVISAT_DUMP_HEADER(1) 💖

okay so bestie, we are reading the manual page for envisat_dump_header, and it lives in the User Commands section. it is short. it is giving "the author had places to be." and honestly? respect. but we are going to go through every single crumb of it together because that is how we do. 🫶 grab a snack. it'll take like ninety seconds. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

  • envisat_dump_header — it's envisat_dump_header. that's the whole thing. the name is the name is the name. iconic, no notes. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

real talk first: this program is part of GMTSAR. write that down. 📝 that's the one solid fact this page gives us up front.

then it hits you with a little boxed banner and it is lowkey adorable:

+-----------------------------------------------+ |  This is
envisat_dump_header by Bert Kampes   |
+-----------------------------------------------+

and then the page just... shows you some output. and then — no seriously, stay with me — it shows you the exact same output a second time. twice. verbatim. the manpage said "you're gonna read this twice and you're gonna like it." 😭

here's round one:

Initializing api.  ------------------------------------------------- I
2024/05/12 18:47:03 - ENVISAT Product Reader API, version 2.3 I
2024/05/12 18:47:03 - API successfully initialized D 2024/05/12 18:47:03
- running on a little endian order architecture

Opening product.  ------------------------------------------------- E
2024/05/12 18:47:03 - epr_open_product: file not found
envisat_dump_header: fatal error in epr_open_product exiting.

and here's round two, because the page really did just do that:

Initializing api.  ------------------------------------------------- I
2024/05/12 18:47:03 - ENVISAT Product Reader API, version 2.3 I

2024/05/12 18:47:03 - epr_open_product: file not found
envisat_dump_header: fatal error in epr_open_product exiting.
heads up: that last bit is a fatal error and it's exiting, so nobody is sticking around after that line. epr_open_product: file not found. that's the whole vibe. 💀

and yeah, the banner-with-the-box shows up again too, same as before. we are not skipping it, we are completists here:

+-----------------------------------------------+

the page is nothing if not consistent. 🦋

and that's the entire manual page, bestie. genuinely. we read all of it. you're a scholar now. 🎓

cute little sign-off time: this page comes from the source envisat_dump_header, dated May 2024, and it's filed under the name ENVISAT_DUMP_HEADER(1) — with a tiny truncated little +-----------... sitting in that footer line, just vibing there, being part of the historical record. 🫶

go forth and envisat_dump_header. slay. 💖🌸
