So the flow-header utility is gonna display the flow meta information that flow-tools uses internally. That's it. That's the whole job. and it does it flawlessly, no cap 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -c comment_char — the field header. defaults to # (yes queen, the lil hashtag ✨)
• -d debug_level — turn on debugging. she's talkative now 🙈
• -h — display help. when in doubt, ask for help, that's main character energy fr fr 💖

flow-header < flowfile
