JWS(1)

💖 NAME 💖

jws — ok so this is the jws script documentation, and yes bestie it's as iconic as it sounds 💅

Here's the whole vibe, exactly how it shows up:

usage: jws [-h] [--compact] {sign,verify} ...

🎀 the arguments, laid out cute 🎀

✨ positional arguments ✨

• {sign,verify} — pick your fighter, bestie. It's literally one of these two: sign or verify. That's the whole menu, no cap 🦋

✨ optional arguments ✨

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. Your "wait what does this do again" button, always there for you 🫶
• --compact — the compact one. It's giving minimal, it's giving tidy ✨
