💖 gm-create_datamatrix — bestie, let's make a QR code 💖

okay so this one lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it's called gm-create_datamatrix(1). it's a little helper script, and honestly? it's giving tiny but mighty. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gm-create_datamatrix — create a datamatrix QR code from within GNUmed

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gm-create_datamatrix <input file> <output file>

like. two args. that's it. we love a low-effort icon. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so gm-create_datamatrix is a helper script, right? and GNUmed uses it to create a datamatrix QR code for a given text file. that's the whole job. it clocks in, it makes the QR code, it clocks out. main character energy but make it humble. ✨

but — and this is the important part, no cap — to actually do the thing it needs dmtx-utils or iec16022 to be installed. one of them. it's not picky. but it does need one. 🫶

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• input file — the text file you want to create a datamatrix QR code from. this is your raw material, your source material, your whole vibe. 🍓
• output file — the file into which the generated datamatrix QR code gets stored. this is where the magic lands. don't lose track of it. 💖

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• dmtxwrite(1)
• iec16022(1)

go read those too, bestie, they're the ones doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. iykyk. 🌈
