🌸 FSTL(1) — General Commands Manual 🌸

okay bestie, sit down, we're learning fstl today and honestly? it's giving minimalist icon. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

fstl — a viewer for .stl files 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fstl [file.stl]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so this manual page is here to document the fstl command briefly — like, we're not writing a novel, we're giving you the tea and moving on. 🫖

fstl is a viewer for .stl files. yes, the 3D model ones. you point it at a file and it shows you the file. main character behavior, honestly. 👑

and here's the part that's actually lowkey impressive: it's optimized to quickly load and render very high-polygon models. like, the models with SO many triangles that other viewers start sweating and buffering and being embarrassing about it. fstl said "not on my watch" and ate. 🔥

💜 OPTIONS 💜

okay so here's the thing, and I need you to hear me clearly:

  • fstl does not take any options. zero. none. no flags, no --help-style shenanigans, nothing. it is unbothered and it is thriving. 🙈

but!! you can supply the name of an .stl file to be viewed. that's your one (1) job as the user. hand it a file, it shows you the file. periodt. 💅

ngl this is the easiest manpage you will ever read and I'm obsessed with that for you.
