💖 GPLIB — the GNU PIC librarian, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this is gplib from the Linux user's manual, and it's genuinely one of those little tools that does SO much more than people give it credit for. she's the GNU PIC librarian, and she's here to keep your archives cute and organized. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gplib [options] library [member]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. a library, maybe a member, and some options. iconic. 🦋

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

bestie. listen. the info in this man page is an extract from the full documentation of gputils, and it's limited to the meaning of the options. that's it. that's the scope. if you want the complete and current documentation, you gotta go read gputils.ps, which lives in the gputils docs directory. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does gplib actually do?? she creates, modifies, and extracts from COFF archives for Microchip (TM) PIC (TM) micro-controllers. literally her whole thing. 💖

and fun fact: gplib is part of gputils. so if you wanna know about the other GNU PIC utilities, go check the gputils(1) manpage for the details. iykyk. 🧚
