FST2VCD(1)

✨ FST2VCD(1) ✨ — like, the Filetype Conversion corner of the manual, bestie

okay so welcome to fst2vcd(1), the lil glow-up machine that takes your FST files and turns them into VCD files 💅 she's part of the Filetype Conversion crew and honestly? she ate.

🌸 NAME 🌸

fst2vcd — converts FST files to VCD, no cap 💖

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

fst2vcd [option]... [FSTFILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: fst2vcd takes FST files and converts them into VCD files. that's it, that's the whole personality ✨

and if you don't specify an output filename? no stress, bestie — the VCD just gets emitted to stdout instead. she'll just yap it right at you 💬

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -f, --fstname <filename> — tells her which FST input filename you want her to read. like, the source material, the moment, the main character 📖
• -o, --output <filename> — optionally names the VCD output filename. skip it and she goes straight to stdout, remember?
• -e, --extensions — emits FST extensions into the VCD. > ⚠️ bestie listen: turning this on may create VCD files that other tools literally cannot read. it's giving chaos 🫠 this one is generally meant to be a debugging tool, for when you're developing FST writer interfaces to simulators. so like, debug queen energy only, not a casual everyday slay.
• -h, --help — displays the help, then exits. the polite lil "here's how to use me" moment 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

to run this program the standard way, you type:

fst2vcd filename.fst

and boom — the VCD conversion is emitted to stdout. iconic behaviour, honestly 💀✨
