FB_WRAPPER(1)

💖 NAME 💖

fb_wrapper — the Firebird command line utility wrapper, bestie edition 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

firebird command [--fb-ver versiona] [arguments]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: fb_wrapper is a wrapper script, and its whole ~thing~ is that it lets you choose which version of the real Firebird command you wanna run. that's it, that's the gig 💅

the way it works is lowkey iconic: instead of putting the actual Firebird utilities in /usr/bin, you put symlinks to this wrapper there instead. and the real Firebird utilities? they're chillin' in /usr/lib/firebird/VERSION/bin. so the wrapper is the main character and the real binaries are backstage, iykyk 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --fb-ver version — pick version as your target Firebird version, periodt. if you don't say anything, the default is the latest available version — so it just does the right thing, no cap 🫶
