💖 ietf2datebook — the girlies are converting agendas 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page from PILOT-LINK (manual name ietf2datebook(1), bestie, write it down) and it's honestly such a vibe. it takes your IETF agenda and makes it datebook-ready. iconic behaviour only.

✨ NAME ✨

ietf2datebook — literally converts IETF agenda format into install-datebook format 🎀

🦋 SECTION 🦋

pilot-link: Tools — that's the squad it runs with, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ietf2datebook < ietf-agenda > datebook.txt

that's it. that's the whole thing. in goes agenda, out comes datebook. slay. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ietf2datebook is a Perl script (yes, Perl, she's an older queen and she serves) that converts an IETF agenda from <https://www.ietf.org> into a format that's suitable for the install-datebook program. it's giving translator era fr fr.

the agenda file gets handed to her as standard input and the output file goes out on standard output. very main character, very stdin-to-stdout pipeline energy.

⚠️ okay this part matters, bestie: please remove all headers and footers from the agenda file before giving it to ietf2datebook. like, all of them. she does not want them. do not send her the whole thing with the extra bits attached. 🙈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • none — that's right. zero options. she doesn't need them. she's lowkey perfect as she is. 💀

🔥 USAGE 🔥

the program will read the IETF agenda from its stdin and output the format that's suitable for the install-datebook program to STDOUT. that's the whole flow. pipe it, redirect it, live your truth. ⭐
