okay bestie, welcome to the gaupol manual page, straight out of the General Commands Manual section of your local man tree. this is the whole thing, every flag, every detail, no skips, no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gaupol — editor for text-based subtitle files

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gaupol [OPTION...] [FILE...] [+[NUM]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, gaupol is an editor for text-based subtitle files. it supports multiple subtitle file formats and gives you the means of creating subtitles, editing texts, and timing subtitles to match video. it's giving main character energy for your subtitle workflow, fr fr. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — show command line options. the "wait what does this do again" button. ✨
  • --version — show version number. receipts, basically. 💅
  • -e, --encoding=ENCODING — set the character encoding to use for opening files. tell it how to read your bytes bestie, it can't guess. 🔥
  • --list-encodings — list possible character encodings to use with --encoding. the vibe check for encodings. 🌈
  • +[NUM] — go to subtitle number NUM in the opened file. and if NUM is missing? it goes to the last subtitle. iconic shortcut behaviour honestly. ⭐
  • -t, --translation-file=FILE — open translation file. 🎀
  • -a, --align-method=METHOD — the method used to align the translation file's subtitle texts with the main document's subtitles. possible values are 'number' and 'position'. the default is 'position', which compares the positions in the main document and the translation file and inserts the translation texts so that those positions match. existing subtitles are skipped and new ones inserted as needed. 'number' discards position information and inserts the N translation texts into the first N subtitles. both are valid, they just hit different. 💜
  • -v, --video-file=FILE — load video file. 🍓
