💖 IMGVVIEW 💖

okay bestie, this is imgvview — it's a tool for viewing Pilot Image Viewer files, version 2.1, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, iykyk). she's small, she's iconic, she does exactly one job and she does it. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

imgvview [-h] [-v] [file]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, imgvview(1) is a simple wrapper for another image viewer, periodt. xv(1), xli(1), and display(1) will all work — but ngl, anything that can read PGM and PBM files can be used too, you just gotta edit the script. main character energy is fully customizable 💅

here's the vibe: your input file gets converted to a temporary PGM or PBM file, and then the other viewer gets launched with that temporary file. that's it. that's the whole plot. she's the middleman and she's thriving ✨

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -h — display a usage message and exit. she tells you how to use her and then she leaves, no strings attached 🫶
  • -v — display the version number and exit. just a quick lil flex of her identity, then she's out 🎀
