FF2PNG(1)

💖 FF2PNG 💖

okay bestie so this is the manual page for ff2png, a lil general commands manual situation, and it's lowkey one of the most useful glow-ups in the whole suckless universe 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ff2png — convert farbfeld to PNG 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ff2png

that's it. no flags. no args. she just works 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: ff2png reads a farbfeld(5) image straight from stdin, converts it into PNG (16-bit RGBA), and writes the result out to stdout. it's giving pipeline princess. it's giving filter. no cap.

and if something goes wrong? 😭 she doesn't just ghost you — she writes a diagnostic message to stderr so you actually know what happened. iconic behavior fr fr.

note: stdin in, stdout out. that's the whole vibe. she does not take filenames, she does not do small talk.

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

• 0 — image processed successfully 🎀 slay, we ate
• 1 — an error occurred 💀

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

the classic one-liner, main character energy:

$ ff2png < image.ff > image.png

and for my compressed-file girlies, pipe it in like it's nothing:

$ bunzip2 < image.ff.bz2 | ff2png > image.png

see how she just slides into the middle of the pipeline? obsessed. 🫶
