💖 KVKCARD(1) — the girlies' guide to reading German medical cards 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to kvkcard, section 1 of the manual pages. yes it's a real Unix tool, yes it reads German medical cards, and yes we're gonna make it make sense. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

kvkcard — a commandline client to read information from a German medical card. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kvkcard [command] [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically kvkcard is a commandline tool that reads information from a German medical card, and when we say German medical card we mean a KVK or an eGK. that's the entire job. no cap. 🫶

✨ COMMANDS ✨

  • read — read data from a German medical card. that's the one. that's the command. it reads, she serves, we stan. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -v, --verbous — every single time this option shows up, the verbosity goes up a notch. stack it, layer it, let her yap. (and yes, it's spelled --verbous in the manual, we don't make the rules, we just relay them fr fr.) 🗣️
  • -f OUTFILE, --filename=OUTFILE — the file to write to. if you leave it out, stdout gets it instead. no file, no problem. ✨
  • -b, --beep — beep after reading a card. little auditory moment. iconic. 🔔
  • -i INFILE, --infilename=INFILE — the file to read from. heads up tho: this one is only needed for psvd and pspd. don't come for her otherwise. 📂
  • -d, --dosmode — store data in DOS mode. retro moment, we love a throwback. 💾
  • -p PARAM, --program=PARAM — the program to call on cards found. found a card, called a program, chain reaction. 🦋
  • -a ARGS, --args=ARGS — arguments for the program to be called. the lil sidekicks that ride along with -p. 🎀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

  • http://www.libchipcard.de — the homepage of the libchipcard project. go say hi. 🌈
  • /usr/share/doc/libchipcard-tools/ — local documentation, sitting right there on your own machine like a lil gift. 💜
