FFINDEX_GET:(1)
π
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. π
β¨ NAME β¨
ffindex_get: β retrieve entries from file index π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
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 FILEβ a file that contains a list of file names, one per line-hβ displays this help message (the classic "help me help you" flag)-nβ use the index of the entry instead of the entry name
πΏ ENVIRONMENT πΏ
FFINDEX_MAX_INDEX_ENTRIESβ allocate memory for this number of entries
Designed and implemented by Andreas Hauser <andy@splashground.de>. π
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. π

πΏ ENVIRONMENT πΏ

πΈ 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. πβ¨
