🌸 GPVO(1) — the GNU PIC object file viewer, bestie edition 🌸

okay so you found the manual page for gpvo, part of gputils, living in the Linux user's manual. Pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

gpvo — the GNU PIC object file viewer. that's it, that's the name, it's giving main character energy and it knows it 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gpvo [options] file

you give it options, you give it a file, it does the thing. periodt 💅

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

okay so this is important, no cap: the info in this man page is just an extract from the full documentation of gputils, and it's limited to what the options mean. nothing more.

if you want the complete and current documentation, you gotta go read gputils.ps, which lives in the gputils docs directory. that's the real deal, this page is just the trailer 🎬

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

gpvo is a COFF object file viewer for Microchip (TM) PIC (TM) microcontrollers. yes bestie, COFF files — those are the relocatable objects that come out of gpasm. that's the pipeline, that's the vibe 🌈

and just so you know, gpvo is part of gputils. if you wanna know about all the other GNU PIC utilities, go check the gputils(1) manpage. the more you know ✨
