💖 filedumperx — the girlies' guide to peeking at planetsplitter's lil intermediate files 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to filedumperx(1) — that's the manual page for the filedumperx command, and I am so hyped to walk you through it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

filedumperx — dump contents of planetsplitter intermediate data

like… it dumps. the contents. of the intermediate data. we love a self-describing name 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

filedumperx [--help] [--dir=dirname] [--prefix=name] [--dump [--nodes]
            [--ways] [--route-relations] [--turn-relations] ]

look at that bracket nesting. she's giving optional, she's giving layered, she's giving "you only need the inner flags if you also picked --dump" 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so filedumperx is literally a modified version of filedumper(1) ✨ and what she does is dump out the contents of the intermediate data that gets saved by planetsplitter(1) — but only after you've processed it using the --keep or --changes option. that's the whole vibe.

🚨 important reality check bestie: this is intended for test purposes only and it gives no useful information about the routino routing database. no cap. she is not your routing bestie, she is your debugging bestie. know the difference 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help — prints usage information. the classic. the icon. when in doubt, ask her to explain herself 👑
  • --dir=dirname — sets the directory name in which to read the local database. this one defaults to the current directory if you don't say anything, because she's lowkey not gonna make you type it out every time 🫶
  • --prefix=name — sets the filename prefix for the files in the local database. so she can find your files by their lil name-starts-with 🏷️
  • --dump — dumps the complete set of data in the intermediate files that are written by planetsplitter(1), using the --keep or --changes options. this is the main character flag fr fr, and the four sub-flags below live inside her 🌸
    • --nodes — dumps the node data. 🟣
    • --ways — dumps the way data. 🛣️
    • --route-relations — dumps the route relation data. 🔥
    • --turn-relations — dumps the turn relation data. 🌀
