GORMTOOL(1)

💅 GORMTOOL(1) — the GNUstep manual pages, bestie edition

okay so this is gormtool, and it lives in the GNUstep Manual Pages section (that's section 1, iykyk). pull up a chair, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gormtool — access certain Gorm features from the command line

like, certain ones. not all of them. the cool ones. 💁♀️

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gormtool [options] [input_file]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options first, input file optional, slay. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gormtool is literally your little command-line doorway into certain Gorm features. no GUI needed, no window, no drama. 🫶

it's what we call a "hybrid" GNUstep tool/headless GNUstep application — which is a fancy way of saying it does NOT require an X server to run. not me being thrilled about that. no display? no problem. it's giving headless icon energy. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

one bullet per flag, bestie, we do not skip, we do not merge, we do not invent. every single one is here:

• --import-strings-file — imports a file in the .strings format and replaces the text in the model file with the mappings. it takes a parameter, and that parameter is the strings file you're importing. 💖
• --export-strings-file — exports a .strings file from the model file, out to the file you name in the parameter. 🍓
• --import-xliff — imports an XLIFF1.2 file into the model file, to the file specified by the parameter. 🔥
• --export-xliff — exports an XLIFF1.2 file from the model file, to the file specified by the parameter. 🌈
• --import-class — parses the header given by the parameter you pass in. heads up though: it will break any existing connections if the class is instantiated. so like… know that before you go for it. 💀
• --export-class — exports the named class (you pass it in as a parameter) to a file with the same name, in the current directory. cute and local. ✨
• --read — specifies this file is to be the one read… optional. if you don't use it, the last parameter is considered the input file. so it's giving "I could tell you, or I could just guess." 🙈
• --write — specifies the output file the model is to be written to. periodt. 💅

😭 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS 😭

okay so real talk: this tool is currently experimental and bugs are expected. like, expected expected. please report them — thanks! 🫶 genuinely, reporting bugs is the most main character thing you can do.
