💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Render Apple .disk_label. that's the vibe, that's the mission, no notes. 🌸

here's every single knob you can turn, and ngl there are a lot of them, and every one of them matters:

• -b, --bgcolor=COLOR — use COLOR for background. give it a lil backdrop, main character energy. ✨
• -c, --color=COLOR — use COLOR for text. your label, your palette. 👑
• -f, --font=FILE — use FILE as font (PF2). yes it has to be PF2, don't come for me, that's just the lore.
• -i, --input=FILE — read text from FILE. let the file do the talking. 🫶
• -o, --output=FILE — set output filename. Default is STDOUT — so if you say nothing, it just yeets it out at you. 💀
• -t, --text=STRING — set the label to render. literally just tell it what to say. 🎀
• -v, --verbose — print verbose messages. it will talk. a lot. it's giving yapper. 😭
• -?, --help — give this help list. the classic. the moment. 🧚
• --usage — give a short usage message. for when you want the tl;dr, not the whole essay.
• -V, --version — print program version. flex the build number real quick. ⭐

📌 important bestie note: mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. so like, don't think you can dodge the argument by going short. the rules apply both ways, fr fr.
