💅 ILBMPACK(1) — the girlies' guide to ilbmpack

okay so bestie, welcome to the ilbmpack page — it's a User Commands girlie through and through, and honestly? she's iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let me tell you about squeezing ILBM images down and puffing them back up. no cap, this one's short and sweet.

✨ NAME ✨

ilbmpack — compress or decompress ILBM images inside an IFF file. that's it. that's the whole job. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ilbmpack -c [OPTION] [-i file.IFF] [-o file.IFF]
ilbmpack -d [OPTION] [-i file.IFF] [-o file.IFF]

literally just pick -c or -d and you're already kind of slaying 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So like — the command ilbmpack goes through every single BODY chunk of every ILBM form in the IFF file you hand it, and either compresses or decompresses them using the byte run (packbits) algorithm. all of them. not just the pretty ones. every last one, fr fr. 🔥

And here's the cute part: if you don't specify an IFF file at all? she just reads an IFF file from the standard input. lowkey flexible of her. 🫶

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -c, --compress — compress the ILBM images. squeeze 'em. ✨
  • -d, --decompress — decompress the ILBM images. let 'em breathe again. 💖
  • -i, --input-file=FILE — specifies the input IFF file. if you don't give her one, then data will be read from the standard input. main character energy: she'll take what she's given. 🎀
  • -o, --output-file=FILE — specifies the output IFF file. and if no output file is given, then data will be written to the standard output. stream it, queen. 🌈
  • -h, --help — shows the usage of this command to the user. she'll explain herself, she loves to. 😭
  • -v, --version — shows the version of this command to the user. iykyk. ⭐
okay but for real bestie — if you forget -i and -o, she's on stdin/stdout duty, so make sure your pipes are piping correctly before you come crying to me. 💀
