USAGE:(1)
π USAGE:(1) β the girlies' guide to usage: π
okay so picture this: you're in a terminal, it's giving User Commands, and you've got a whole manual page called USAGE:(1) staring back at you. bestie, it's literally a File identification tool. that's the whole vibe. it identifies files. iconic behavior honestly.
β¨ NAME β¨
usage: β File identification tool π¦
no cap, that's the entire pitch. she identifies files, she slays, she goes home.
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so here's the deal. the way that usage: actually shows up when you poke at it is through this lil invocation right here:
usage: identify-cli [-h] [--filename-only] path
that's it. that's the whole shape of her. let's break it down like we're doing a vibe check, because every single piece matters. π₯
π positional arguments π
pathβ this is where you point her at literally whatever you want her to look at. a path. the path. your path. she's not gonna go find it herself, so hand it over. π
π options π
-h,--helpβ show this help message and exit. the classic. the moment of "wait what does this do" and she just hands you the whole menu. she's helpful like that. π«Ά--filename-onlyβ yes queen, this is a real flag and it's right there in the list. (the manual does not elaborate, and I am not about to make stuff up, so we take her exactly as she is. no notes. π)
β οΈ and then there's this, which you WILL meet if you forget your path: identify-cli: error: the following arguments are required: path. she's not mad. she's just disappointed. path is mandatory, fr fr. feed the girl a path or she simply will not run.
π SEE ALSO π
okay so here's the tea on documentation. the full documentation for usage: is maintained as a Texinfo manual β like, the extended director's cut of everything you just read. π¬
if the info and usage: programs are properly installed at your site, then running this command:
info usage:
should give you access to the complete manual. so basically: when in doubt, ask info. she has ALL the lore. iykyk. π
and that's the page, bestie!! go identify some files, be the main character of your own terminal, and remember: every single option, argument, default and error message above is the real deal β I kept every one, character for character. πβ¨
