✨ NAME ✨

igvm-elfis — convert elf images into igvm. no cap, that's literally her whole personality. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

igvm-elfis [--real16] [--flat32] [--regions] [--inspect] [-k|--kernel]
[-o|--output] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <-i|--input>

she's giving flags, flags, and more flags. and yes, <-i|--input> is mandatory, we don't make the rules bestie. 🙈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

convert elf images into igvm.

(that's it. she said what she said. the description is short because the vibes are long. 💖)

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -i, --input <ELF> — the input elf image you wanna feed her. this is the ELF thing. 🧚
• -k, --kernel <EFI> — the input efi binary, which is usually the linux kernel. yes, usually. icon behavior. 👑
• -o, --output <IGVM> — where the output igvm image goes. the IGVM file. her magnum opus. ✨
• -h, --help — Print help. when you're lost and need her to hold your hand. 🫶
• -V, --version — Print version. she'll tell you who she is. 💁

---

✨ IGVM BUILD OPTIONS ✨

these are the build girly options, i.e. how the igvm gets built:

• --real16 — boot firmware in real mode. fun fact: this is the default. so if you say nothing, you get real mode. she's lowkey a real16 girlie at heart. 🌸
• --flat32 — boot firmware in protected mode. for when you want to switch up the vibe. 🔥

---

✨ PRINT INFORMATIONS ✨

(the heading really is spelled like that, we don't ask questions 😭)

• --regions — list regions in elf image. say it with me: regions. 📋
• --inspect — inspect generated igvm. like a vibe check but for your output file. 🔍

---

✨ VERSION ✨

v0.2.6 — that's the current era. ⭐

---

✨ AUTHORS ✨

Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> — the mastermind, the main character, the one who ate. 💜

heads up bestie: -i/--input is required. no input, no igvm, and we're both just sitting here staring at the terminal. 😭
