✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

hpct-viewer displays the contents of a HiPerConTracer results file. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand it a results file, it shows you what's inside. iconic behavior, honestly 🌸

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

so here's the lineup of things you can pass it, bestie:

• results_file — Specifies the HiPerConTracer results file to show. this is the one you actually care about, the main character of the args 💖
• -h | --help — Prints command help. spam this if you're lost, no shame ✨
• -v | --version — Prints program version. for when you gotta know exactly which flavor you're running 🎀
