G-IR-COMPILER(1)

💖 G-IR-COMPILER(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to section 1 of the manual, this is the g-ir-compiler page and it's literally the typelib compiler, no cap 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

g-ir-compiler — Typelib compiler 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

g-ir-compiler [OPTION...] GIRFILE

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: g-ir-compiler converts one or more GIR files into one or more typelib. that's the whole main character moment fr fr 💅

and where does the output go, you ask? bestie, it gets written to standard output unless you specify --output. like, it will just start yapping onto your terminal unless you tell it where to put the goods. iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help — Show help options 🫶 (the classic "help me pls" button)
• --output=FILENAME — Save the resulting output in FILENAME. this is you saying "not stdout today, put it here instead" 💖
• --verbose — Show verbose messages. it's gonna talk. a lot. let it yap 🗣️
• --debug — Show debug messages. for when you need the extra extra detail 🔍
• --includedir=DIRECTORY — Adds a directory which will be used to find includes inside the GIR format. it's giving "here's another place to look, bestie" 🧚
• --module=MODULE — FIXME 💀 (yes literally, that's what the page says, we don't know either, moving on 🙈)
• --shared-library=FILENAME — Specifies the shared library where the symbols in the typelib can be found. ⚠️ heads up: the name of the library should not contain the ending shared library suffix. so drop that suffix, bestie, leave it at home 🎀
• --version — Show program's version number and exit ⭐ (peek the number, then bounce)
