GCAPS(1NCARG)

💖 GCAPS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to gcaps — that's section 1NCARG of the NCAR Graphics manual, and she's a whole vibe ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gcaps — the girl who reports all your available graphcaps 📋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gcaps [ -V ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, gcaps is literally just a simple script 💅 she's not complicated, she's not doing the most, she's just showing you every single available graphcap you've got kicking around 👑

and why do we care? because those graphcaps are what get used for metafile translation by the metafile translator, ctrans(1NCARG) 🫶 that's the whole point, that's the assignment, no cap 💖

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -V — prints the version number and then dips immediately 👋 like she said what she said and then left the group chat.

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• NCARG_ROOT — the path to the root of your NCAR Graphics installation 🌳
• NCARG_LIB — if you set this variable, it holds the path to the installed NCAR Graphics libraries 📚 and listen, NCARG_LIB overrides NCARG_ROOT — she's the main character, she wins, periodt 👑

---

🍓 FILES 🍓

• $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/graphcaps/* — the graphcaps 💖
• $NCARG_LIB/lib/ncarg/graphcaps/* — the graphcaps 🦋

(yes bestie, the graphcaps live in both places depending on which env var is running the show, iykyk)
