GPGPARTICIPANTS-PREFILL(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gpgparticipants-prefill — it inserts checksum-digits into a gpgparticicpants' form 💖 (yes, that spelling is exactly what the page says, and I am not touching it, periodt)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gpgparticipants-prefill [OPTIONS] EMPTYLIST FILLEDLIST

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, bestie, here's the vibe: gpgparticipants-prefill takes a file that was produced by gpgparticipants — that's your EMPTYLIST — and it goes to work trying to fill in some digits into the SHA256 field. the goal? the resulting list should actually have a SHA256 checksum that starts with those digits. 🎯

so like, in other words: it's trying to produce a file that hashes to a checksum that's partially written down in the file itself. it's giving "write the answer in the question" energy, and honestly? iconic.

whenever a match is found, a file with the digits filled in gets written to FILLEDLIST.DIGITS. 💅

ngl, this is a brute-force search, so be patient with it. no cap.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -h, --help — prints the usage text. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶
• --fastforward — if a match is found at some length, it immediately jumps ahead to the next length. like, no dawdling, we're moving on ⏭️
• --min-length NUM — starts the search at this given length.
• --max-length NUM — stops the search once it hits this given length. bye bestie 👋
• --prefix PREFIX — only considers hex strings that start with PREFIX. very picky, very demure ✨
