G-IR-GENERATE(1)

💖 G-IR-GENERATE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to g-ir-generate, section 1 of the manual, and she is literally a Typelib generator 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

g-ir-generate [OPTION...] FILES...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so g-ir-generate is a GIR generator, and she does it using the repository API — no cap. She takes a raw typelib, or a shared library (that's the --shlib vibe), and turns it into GIR files ✨

and where does the output go? straight to standard output, unless you tell her otherwise with --output. it's giving "I'll just say it out loud unless you hand me a notebook" 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help — shows you the help options. your girl is nothing if not helpful 🫶
• --shlib=FILENAME — the shared library she should read the symbols from. hand her the file, she does the rest 💖
• --output=FILENAME — saves the resulting output into FILENAME instead of yelling it at stdout. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑
• --version — shows the program's version number and then exits. short, sweet, main character energy ⭐
