💖 kmflcomp(1) 💖

keyboard mapping for linux compiler — that's the whole vibe, bestie, it's a man page from the General Commands Manual and it's here to help you compile kmfl keyboards 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kmflcomp -v
kmflcomp [-d] [-f] [-V] keyboardfile
kmflcomp -h

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so KMFL is a keyboard input method project, and its whole thing is bringing Tavultesoft Keyman functionality to *nix operating systems. Iconic behaviour honestly. 🦋

kmflcomp is the keyboard compiler and syntax checker for the kmfl project. The files it creates can be loaded by the kmfl libraries so your clients get input methods. It's giving compiler. It's giving enabler. 💅

⚠️ Real talk though — the kmfl libraries now have the capability to compile kmfl keyboards on the fly, which means kmflcomp is no longer strictly necessary. 😭 But don't cry!! The most useful part of kmflcomp is its kmfl keyboard syntax checking, and that part still absolutely ate. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -d — Output debugging information 🐛
• -f — Force compilation even if there are errors found in the keyboard file 😤 (yes, even then. she's stubborn and we love her)
• -h — Print this help message 🫶
• -V — Be more verbose in kmfcomp's information messages 🗣️✨
• -v — Print program version 🔢

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The full documentation for kmflcomp can be found on the kmfl website (kmfl.sourceforge.net). 🧚

And bestie, that documentation includes the docs for the kmfl language syntax, which is literally what you need if you're creating new keyboards or modifying existing keyboards. iykyk. 💜
