💖 HIME 💖

okay so bestie, you found the page for hime-phoa2d and hime-phod2a — the two little Bopomofo tool girlies that ship with the hime input method platform 🎀 they're a matched set, a duo, a dynamic pair, and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ NAME ✨

hime-phoa2d, hime-phod2a — hime's Bopomofo tools 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hime-phoa2d
hime-phod2a

no flags, no args, no drama. you just run them and they do their thing 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, and it's a two-way street situation 🫶

  • hime-phoa2d converts $HOME/.config/hime/pho.tab.src into $HOME/.config/hime/pho.tab — and that second file? that's the one the Bopomofo and Tsin input methods actually read. so this is the "make it usable" direction ✨
  • hime-phod2a goes the other way: it converts $HOME/.config/hime/pho.tab back into $HOME/.config/hime/pho.tab.src, which is the version users are allowed to edit. so this is the "give it back to me in human form" direction 🌸

basically: .src is the editable one, .tab is the one hime eats for breakfast. phoa2d feeds the machine, phod2a hands it back to you. no cap 💖

✨ ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES ✨

  • HIME_NO_RELOAD — tells the hime server not to reload data after hime-phoa2d finishes running 🙈 so if you don't want it going and refreshing everything the second you're done, this is your girl.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
