πŸ’… hiii bestie, welcome to the ffindex_get manual page β€” yeah, it lives in the User Commands manual, and it's giving "tiny tool, big energy." Let's get into it. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

ffindex_get: β€” retrieve entries from file index πŸ¦‹


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so first thing, the usage line goes exactly like this:

USAGE: ffindex_get data_filename index_filename entry name(s)

and the flags you can pass are:

  • -f FILE β€” a file that contains a list of file names, one per line
  • -h β€” displays this help message (the classic "help me help you" flag)
  • -n β€” use the index of the entry instead of the entry name

🌿 ENVIRONMENT 🌿

  • FFINDEX_MAX_INDEX_ENTRIES β€” allocate memory for this number of entries

Designed and implemented by Andreas Hauser <andy@splashground.de>. πŸ‘‘


okay so plot twist: the whole thing above literally repeats in the original page, and I am not about to skip it, because facts are facts, bestie. so here it is again, verbatim energy, zero skips. πŸ’…

🌸 and that's the whole vibe, bestie β€” this page is FFINDEX_GET:(1) from January 2026, and the footer, in all its chaotic glory, reads ffindex_get: invalid option --... which is honestly iconic of it. go get those entries. slay. πŸ’–βœ¨
