GSALLIERE(1)

🌸 GSALLIERE — the manual page, but make it cute 🌸

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about gsalliere, a.k.a. the Duplicate Bridge Scorer 💖 this is section 1 of the General Commands Manual, so it's a real deal user command, not some deep-in-the-weeds sysadmin thing. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

gsalliere — Duplicate Bridge Scorer 🃏✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gsalliere [boards.csv]            [names.csv]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two optional files, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, this manual page documents briefly the gsalliere command — not everything, just the highlights, the little trailer before the movie, ykwim? 🙈

gsalliere scores, matchpoints and nicely formats the boards for a duplicate pairs evening. it is a graphical frontend to salliere(1) — so salliere(1) is the brain, and gsalliere is the pretty face with the buttons. main character energy fr fr 👑

Board and names files may be specified on the command line or loaded once the program has started. so you can be all "here's my files, boom" at launch, or you can be chill and load them later inside the app. both are valid, both slay. 🫶

now, the file formats, because this is where people mess up and we are not doing that:

• the boards file must contain lines with at least:
  1. board number
  2. NS pair number
  3. EW pair number
  4. Contract
  5. Declarer
  6. and either tricks — or the contract must include whether it made (=), went down (-tricks) or made over tricks (+tricks)

like, you need at least those fields on each line, bestie. don't skimp. ✋

• the names file must list at least:
  1. pair number
  2. followed by two comma separated names

and that's the format, no cap. 📝✨

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🦋✨ it's gsalliere(1) from the General Commands Manual — that's the footer energy, the little bookend, the "same title, we out" moment. 🎀 no date stamp on this one, just the page name keeping it company at the bottom. bye bye, go score some bridge, you absolute legend 🫶💜
