gm-describe_file(1)

✨ gm-describe_file ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual about gm-describe_file(1) β€” yes the whole manual name is a thing, we're being official today πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ NAME πŸ¦‹

gm-describe_file β€” describes files from within GNUmed


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gm-describe_file <input file> <metadata file>

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

gm-describe_file is a helper script that GNUmed uses to pull metadata out of files, so it can describe them to the user whenever that's needed. it's giving "personal assistant for your files", no cap 🫢


✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • input file β€” the file you wanna describe, periodt. the one and only subject of the operation πŸ’…
  • metadata file β€” the file where the extracted metadata gets stored so it can be used for the description. lowkey important: if you don't give one, it defaults to <input file>.txt and it overwrites that file. so yeah, it'll just go ahead and clobber it πŸ™ˆ
