IFINFO(1)

🌸 IFINFO

okay bestie, so this is ifinfo, a General Commands Manual girlie whose whole job is to Print IF (Image File) Information. that's it. that's the job. she serves info about IF files and she serves it cute 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ifinfo iffile [OPTIONS]

so you hand her one iffile (an IF file, obvs) and then you can sprinkle some options on top like glitter 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ifinfo prints information about an IF file. lowkey that's the entire personality and honestly? iconic 👑

The options are as follows:

• --labels — print history labels. this is the default, so she's already doing it, bestie 💅
• --stats — print image statistics. also a default. she does both, no cap.
• --no-labels — do NOT print history labels. tell her to chill on the labels.
• --no-stats — do NOT print image statistics. labels stay, stats go.
• --debug — set debug mode 🐛
• --verbose — set verbose mode. she will yap. respectfully. 🗣️
• --version — print version. the classic.
• --help — print terse help summary. short and sweet, fr fr ✨

heads up bestie: --labels and --stats are both the default behavior, and --no-labels / --no-stats are how you turn each one off. so you can have labels only, stats only, both, or neither. she's flexible like that 💖

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

okay so storytime, because this is genuinely giving main character energy:

CTSim was begun in 1983 using MS-DOS and an EGA display adapter 😭 like, ancient. In 1999 it was ported to GNU/Linux and later ported to Microsoft Windows. the glow-up is real, no cap. she's been on every platform and she ate every single time 🔥
