✨ KATALYZER(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the katalyzer page — it's part of libkate, and it's basically the group-chat gossip channel for your Kate streams 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

katalyzer — analyzes Kate streams and displays various information about them. fr fr, that's the whole job 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

katalyzer [-hV] [-l types] [-l!]  [ infile ]

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so katalyzer analyzes Kate streams and displays information about them — no cap. the type of information it shows is selectable right there on the command line, which is giving choose-your-own-adventure energy.

and here's the iconic part: several multiplexed Kate streams may be analyzed at the same time. not one, not two — several. main character energy for your whole container 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h — show command line help. the "bestie what do i type" button 🙈
  • -V — show version information. for when you gotta know which era of the software you're living in ⭐
  • -l types — select the types of information to log, from the list below. these characters may be concatenated in a single -l option, as, eg, ls does (eg, katalyzer -l Ttv). refer to the katalyzer command line help for a fully up to date list of types.
    • e: errors
    • p: packet
    • c: container specific information
    • T: Timing
    • t: text
    • v: event
    • d: dump page and packets
    • S: statistics
    • -: miscellaneous information that doesn't belong in any other type
lowkey the - one is the "random stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else" drawer of your desk. every good system has one 🍓
  • -l! — shorthand to select all information to log. the "give me everything, i'm nosy" option 💀✨

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

analyzes any Kate stream in an Ogg file:

katalyzer input.ogg

analyzes any Kate stream in an Ogg file, displaying only errors:

katalyzer -l e input.ogg
see how the -l e just narrows it down to errors? that's the move when you're in your "i don't want the whole story, just tell me what broke" era 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 this was libkate version 0.4.3, dated 03 december 2008 — iconic, historic, and still slaying. go analyze something 💅🦋
