okay bestie, welcome to the handlr page 🎀 it's a General Commands Manual entry, and honestly? it ate.

✨ NAME ✨

handlr — a fork of handlr, but with regex support 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

handlr [-n|--disable-notifications] [-t|--force-terminal-output]
[-v|--verbose]... [-q|--quiet]... [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
<subcommands>

like, that's the whole vibe. flags first, subcommands after, no cap. 💫

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

A better xdg-utils. periodt.

It's a resource opener with support for wildcards, multiple handlers, and regular expressions — she's versatile, she's iconic. 👑

Based on handlr at <https://github.com/chmln/handlr> — shoutout to the original, fr fr 🫶

Regular expression handlers inspired by mimeo at <https://xyne.dev/projects/mimeo/> — cute, we love credit where credit's due ✨

the important file locations, memorize these bestie (jk, just bookmark them):

• Mime associations file location: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mimeapps.list 📄
• Config file location: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/handlr/handlr.toml ⚙️
• Log file location: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/handlr/handlr.log 📝

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

okay so here's the flag menu, and every single one is a little main character:

• -n, --disable-notifications — turns off notifications when an error happens. lowkey blessed if the popups are stressing you out 🙈
• -t, --force-terminal-output=TERMINAL_OUTPUT — overrides whether or not to behave as if the output is an interactive terminal. possible values: true, false. yes, exactly those two, no improvising 👀
• -v, --verbose — cranks the logging verbosity UP. you can stack it (...) so like, go off 🗣️
• -q, --quiet — decreases logging verbosity. the opposite vibe, also stackable (...) 🤫
• -h, --help — prints help (see a summary with -h). the classic 💅
• -V, --version — prints the version ⭐
