gm-convert_file(1)

💖 gm-convert_file(1) — the GNUmed glow-up station 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a little script with a big job: it's gm-convert_file, and she lives in the General Commands Manual section of the manual pages. no cap, she's the tiny helper GNUmed calls on when a file needs to become a different file. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gm-convert_file — converts files from within GNUmed 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gm-convert_file <input file> <target mime type> <target file extension>
<target filename>

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, gm-convert_file is a helper script. GNUmed uses it to convert files from one format into another, whenever it needs that. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's not the main character, she's the supporting main character. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• input file — the file you wanna convert. the before picture. 🙈
• target mime type — the mime type you want that input file converted into. the glow-up goal.
• target file extension — the extension of the target filename. heads up: some programs — say, convert of ImageMagick fame — look at this rather than the target mime type to figure out what format you actually want. so don't sleep on it. 😭
• target filename — the filename you want the converted file saved under. name her something cute.
