👑 FIXPIX(1) — User Commands, bestie edition

okay so welcome to section 1 of the manual, aka User Commands, aka where all the executable programs live 💅 and today's main character is fixpix. buckle up, this one's short but it saves your pixels. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fixpix — AME 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fixpix [-vn] file.fits xl yl xr yr...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Fix pixel regions of FITS or IRAF image file 💀✨ like, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly.

and also, the other ways you can call her:

or : fixpix [-vn] file.fits @regionlist or : fixpix [-vn] @filelist xl yl xr yr...  or : fixpix [-vn] @filelist @regionlist

so basically you got options, bestie — you can point at a file and give her coordinates, you can hand her a @regionlist, you can hand her an @filelist with coordinates, or you can hand her both lists and let her cook 👩‍🍳. pick your fighter. 🙈

Now the flags, and there are exactly two, so no excuses:

  • -n — write a new file instead of doing the thing where she just barrels over your original. if you do NOT pass -n, it will overwrite. no undo. no take-backs. guard your originals accordingly. 😭
  • -v — verbose. she'll narrate what she's doing, which is honestly kind of iconic of her. 🫶
🌈 real talk: the -n versus overwrite thing is the entire drama of this manpage. if you're not passing -n, you're living on the edge and I respect it but I do not endorse it. 💅

mwah that's the page. go fix some pixels. slay 🧚💜

this little love letter comes to you from the fixpix page, source EB_SOURCE, dated February 2026 — stay pixel-perfect out there, bestie. 👑🌸
