✨ GCSTAR(1) ✨

okay so real quick — this is a page from the Linux User's Manual, and it's all about GCstar, bestie. buckle up 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

GCstar — your personal collection manager, no cap 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gcstar [-u UPDATE-OPTIONS] [-x EXECUTE-OPTIONS] [FILENAME]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

GCstar is a Gtk3 program used to manage personal collections. that's literally it, that's the whole vibe — it's giving organized main character energy 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

so if you run it with no options at all, it will open FILENAME if you specified one, or just the file you had open last time. comfy. 🫶

and then there are two whole groups of options, divided like:

🧚 UPDATE-OPTIONS 🧚

• -u, --update — tells GCstar to go look for available updates 🔥
• -a, --all — update all the components, every single one, periodt
• -c, --collection — update the collection models
• -w, --website — update the plugins that download information
• -i, --import — update the plugins that import data
• -e, --export — update the plugins that export data
• -l, --lang — update the translations 🌈
• -n, --noproxy — don't ask for a proxy 🙈

💜 EXECUTE-OPTIONS 💜

• -x, --execute — enter non-interactive mode (no chatting, just doing 😌)
• -c, --collection MODEL — specify the collection type
• -w, --website PLUGIN — specify the plugin to use to download information
• -i, --import PLUGIN — specify the plugin to use to import a collection
• -e, --export PLUGIN — specify the plugin to use to export the collection
• -f, --fields FILENAME — file containing the fields list to use for import/export
• -o, --output FILENAME — write output into FILENAME instead of standard output
• --download TITLE — search for the item that has TITLE as its name 🔍
• --importprefs PREFERENCES — preferences for the import plugin
• --exportprefs PREFERENCES — preferences for the export plugin

so about those import/export plugin preferences — you specify them using this exact schema, okay? write it down: Key1=>Value1,Key2=>Value2 🎀

🌟 ENVIRONMENT 🌟

• HOME — used to define the following variables if needed
• XDG_CONFIG_HOME — where configuration files should be stored. if it's not defined, it's $HOME/.config
• XDG_DATA_HOME — where some data will be stored. if it's not defined, it's $HOME/.local/share
