💖 flam3-animate(1) — the whole FLAM3 family, explained by your bestie 💖

okay so. this is the manual page for the flam3-animate crew — but lowkey it's also the manual page for flam3-render, flam3-genome, and flam3-convert. four icons, one page, one general commands manual, and i'm about to make it make sense. 🫶

🌈 NAME 🌈

flam3-animate — render and animate FLAM3s and manipulate their genomes

flam3-render — render and animate FLAM3s and manipulate their genomes

flam3-genome — render and animate FLAM3s and manipulate their genomes

flam3-convert — render and animate FLAM3s and manipulate their genomes

yeah they all share the same one-liner bestie, it's giving "we're a group project and we all wrote the same thing" and honestly? valid. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

flam3-convert < input

that's the whole synopsis, no cap. she's short and she knows it. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

FLAM3 implements a visual language based on a recursive set equation. yes. a whole language. for vibes. mathematically. 😭

so here's the squad and what each one does:

• Flam3-genome — creates and manipulates genomes (which are xml parameter sets) in this language. genomes are literally just xml parameter sets, that's the whole tea. 🧬
• Flam3-render — turns genomes into still images. one genome in, one gorgeous still out. 📸
• Flam3-animate — renders motion-blurred frames of animation. it's the moving version, the cinematic one, main character energy fr fr. 🔥
• Flam3-convert — reads from stdin files in the old format used by the flame GIMP plugin, and writes the new format to stdout. it's the glow-up translator, obsessed. 💖

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• any command line option — and i mean any one of them — will cause the program to write its documentation to standard out.

not me just casually dropping the whole manual because you typed a flag 🙈 that's the behavior, that's what it does, no further detail given and i will not be inventing any. periodt.

---

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

the environment variables? they're in the documentation that gets written to standard out when you pass any command line option. so like… go get them. they're in there. 🎀

and that's the page bestie!! no bugs listed, no exit statuses, no files section — she's a short queen and we respect her for it. if you want more, pass a flag and read the docs that fall out. iykyk. 💜

this was flam3-animate(1), from the General Commands Manual — and the footer said the exact same thing, so shoutout to the footer, you did great sweetie. 💖✨🦋🎀🌈👑💅
