✨ ICNSUTIL(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the icnsutil manual page, aka the little group chat where we talk about flipping between .iconset and .icns files 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

icnsutil — a whole utility whose entire job is converting between .iconset and .icns files. that's it. that's the job. she's focused 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

iconutil -c {icns | iconset} [-o file] file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so icnsutil is basically a functional clone of the Darwin iconutil, no cap. and what does that darling do? she converts between .iconset and .icns files, periodt.

here's the vibe: you hand her a single source file — either an .icns or an .iconset — and she converts it into either an .icns or an .iconset, depending on whatever value you gave to the -c flag's argument. she's not picky, she just needs to know which direction you're going 👑

and listen, if you want to name the output file yourself, you absolutely can — just pass that file path as the argument to the -o flag and she'll respect it. but if -o is not set? then iconutil writes the converted .icns file or .iconset to the same directory as the source file, using the same file name, just with the correct extension for whatever output type you asked for. convenient, lowkey iconic 🌈
