💖 GBI3 — bestie edition (manual section 1, yeah we're in the big leagues) 💖

okay so like. welcome to gbi3(1), the manual page for the Gambas Component Informer. yes it's a real thing. yes it's iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gbi3 — the GAMBAS Component Informer 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gbi3 [options] [components]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options and components, in that order, go off queen 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so first of all, Gambas is a free development environment built on a Basic interpreter with object extensions — think a lil mashup of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm) fr fr. With Gambas you can:

  • quickly design your program GUI with Qt or GTK+ 🎀
  • access database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQlite or ODBC databases 💾
  • pilot applications with DBus 🔥
  • translate your program into many languages 🌈
  • create GStreamer, OpenGL or SDL applications ✨
  • and so on... (the "and so on" is doing SO much work here and honestly? respect)

and gbi3 itself? it allows you to generate component description files. that's the job. that's the assignment. and it ate 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

one bullet per flag, no skips, no cap:

  • -f, --force — force generation of all description files. like, all of them. no mercy, no skipping 🫡
  • -h, --help — display help and exit. your lil "wait what does this do" button 🥺
  • -L, --license — display license. the legal tea ☕
  • -r, --root <directory> — gives the gambas installation directory. directory is your placeholder bestie, swap it for the real path 📁
  • -v, --verbose — verbose output. it will tell you EVERYTHING and honestly we love a chatty king 👑
  • -V, --version — display version. which one are we on? mystery until you press it 🎀
lowkey note: -v is verbose and -V is version. one lowercase, one uppercase. they are NOT the same and mixing them up is a canon event 😭

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈
