💖 JHOVE — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the jhove(1) page (manual name: JHOVE, section 1, general commands — very demure, very general). Pull up a chair, we're identifying, validating, and characterizing digital objects and honestly? it's giving main character energy. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

jhove, jhove-gui — identify, validate, and characterize digital objects. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jhove [options] files...
jhove-gui

like. two whole moods. one takes files and options, one just. exists. 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this manual page documents briefly the jhove and jhove-gui commands — brief being the key word, this is the little snack-sized version, not the full feast. 🍓

jhove-gui has a graphical user interface and no significant command line options. none. zero. she's visual, she's clicky, she doesn't wanna hear about your flags. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

jhove has a command line interface — so if you wanna actually talk to her, this is the one. and for the full ✨lore✨, see the complete documentation online at:

no cap, that URL is where the real info lives. this page is the trailer, that link is the whole movie. 🎬

✨ AUTHOR ✨

JHOVE is copyright JSTOR and the President and Fellows of Harvard College, and — plot twist — the authors are not listed in the program source code. so we don't know who to thank by name, but we're thanking them anyway, loudly. 🫶 👑

This manual page was written by Jeff Breidenbach <jab@debian.org>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others). generous king behavior, letting other people use it. ✨

🌈 and that's the whole page, bestie 🌈

this version is dated 2023-04-28, and yes it is still the JHOVE(1) manual page — section 1, general commands, no notes. go identify something, validate something, characterize something. slay. 💖💅✨
