💖 GELEMENTAL(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gElemental man page, and yes it's manual section 1, we're in the big leagues now ✨

🌈 NAME 🌈

gelemental — it's a periodic table viewer, that's the whole vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gelemental [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gElemental is a GTK+ periodic table viewer, and she comes with detailed information on elements — like, all of it, she's thorough and we love that for her 👑

want the tea on how to find more? go check the Properties dialog, it's chillin' in the Help menu. that's it, that's the hint 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help — shows you a summary of all the command-line options that exist. a lil cheat sheet, we stan 💖
• -p, --print=SYMBOL_OR_NUMBER — prints the info on whatever element you point at, straight to standard output. yes, that element, the one you named 🔥
• -s, --show=SYMBOL_OR_NUMBER — pops open the properties dialog for the element you named. she's showing off, respectfully 💅
• -i, --interactive — makes the table show up even if data already got printed to standard output. because by default? gElemental exits after printing data. she's like "done, bye" 😭 so if you want her to stick around, this is your girl.

now, important deets about naming your elements: you can call an element by its symbol (like Ag) or by its atomic number (like 47). either one, she gets it, no cap.

and you can stack these — multiple instances of --print and/or --show may be given. go off, ask for twelve elements, she can handle it 👑

also! this program accepts all standard GTK+ options too, and those follow the usual GNU command line syntax. so if you know your GNU flags, you already know the drill 🌸
