🌸 ETSF_IO 💅

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we're about to talk about the ETSF_IO manual page for the etsf_io command line tool 💖 (the page header literally says ETSF_IO(1) in the User Commands section, iykyk). This is the library's very own manpage and she is serving.

✨ NAME ✨

The ETSF_IO library — which is, and I quote, the manual page for the etsf_io command line tool 🎀. That's the whole vibe. That's the whole name section. Slay.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

etsf_io [-h | -a action] [[-i file]...] [[-f flag]...]  [-o file]
[arguments]

no cap, that's the shape of it. <rainbow>flags go in, files go in, and something magical happens.</rainbow> ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this tool handles ETSF files. That's the whole job description. For the deets, you gotta check the --action option, because she's the main character here 👑.

Here's the lineup of options, one by one, no skipping, periodt:

  • -h, --help — shows this little help. cute, quick, helpful. 💕
  • -a, --action value — gives the action to perform. This is where the plot happens. Possible actions may be:
    • 'merge' — to gather several files that have been splitted. 🧩
    • 'content' — to get the name of specifications the file matches. 🔍
    • 'check' — to check the validity of the file against specifications. ✅
  • -o, --output-file file — gives the path to the output ETSF file. Where the good stuff goes 🎁
  • -i, --input-file file — gives the path for an input file. Bestie, listen: this option can be used one or several times. Stack 'em up, she doesn't mind 🫶
  • -l, --list — when the action is check, it gives the list of available flags. Like a lil menu but for flags 📋
  • -f, --flag value — gives a flag name. (You get the valid names from the -l option, okay? Don't guess, just ask her. 💅)

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

These are the moments where she ate and left no crumbs:

Merge three files:

etsf_io -a merge -i file1.nc -i file2.nc -i file3.nc -o output.nc

Get the contents of test.nc:

etsf_io -a content test.nc

Get the list of flags for validity checks:

etsf_io -a check -l

Checks with two flags:

etsf_io -a check -f flag1 -f flag2 test.nc
not me getting emotional over a merge command 😭 it's giving file-wrangling icon energy fr fr
