💖 KSVERDIFF(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is ksverdiff — it's a General Commands Manual page, and it lives to display the differences in kickstart syntax. that's the whole NAME vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ksverdiff [-f | --from FROMVER]  [-t | --to TOVER]

like, that's it. two flags, one little glow-up of a command. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: ksverdiff is a program that takes two versions of kickstart syntax and lists the differences between them. two versions in, list of differences out. iconic behavior honestly. 🦋

and what exactly does it hand you? it will generate:

  • a list of options added to every command since FROMVER
  • a list of commands added since FROMVER
  • a list of commands deprecated since FROMVER
  • a list of commands removed since FROMVER

four whole lists. it's giving organized. it's giving serving. 😌✨

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • 0 — success, we ate 🍓
  • 1 — returned if either FROMVER or TOVER are invalid 😭 (not the vibe)

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -f, --from FROMVER — the version of kickstart syntax to start with. in other words, this is the lower bound version. your starting line, your origin story, your before pic. 🙈
  • -t, --TO TOVER — the version of kickstart syntax to end with. in other words, this is the upper bound version. your glow-up, your after pic, your final form. 💅✨
not me pointing out that it's literally --from lowercase and --TO uppercase — that's not a typo on my end, bestie, that's exactly how the page writes it. copy it character for character or the vibe check fails. 🔥

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this page came from the General Commands Manual — yes the whole squad of manual pages — and it's filed under KSVERDIFF(1), which is also exactly what it says at the top and bottom of the original. so like, it's bookended. symmetrical. main character energy from start to finish. no date given on this one, she's timeless 💜⭐ go diff some kickstart syntax and slay 💖
