💅 lou_checktable — like, the vibe check for your Braille table

okay so bestie, welcome to lou_checktable (that's LOU_CHECKTABLE(1) if we're being formal, which we're not 💖). This is the little tool that tests a liblouis Braille translation table for you. Iconic behavior, honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

lou_checktable — it tests a liblouis Braille translation table. That's the whole job. She's a specialist, she's booked, she's not doing anything else 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lou_checktable [OPTIONS] TABLE[,TABLE,...]

yes you read that right, you can comma-separate multiple TABLEs. go off 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: lou_checktable tests a Braille translation table. If the table contains errors, appropriate messages are displayed — like, it will tell you, it's not gonna ghost you 😭

If there are no errors, the message "no errors found." is shown — unless you specify the --quiet option, in which case she simply does not speak. mysterious. main character energy fr fr 💅

Here's the flag lineup, bestie:

  • -h, --help — display this help and exit. your emergency exit when you're lost 🫶
  • -v, --version — display version information and exit. who are you, what version, why are you here ✨
  • -q, --quiet — do not write to standard error if there are no errors. literally just vibes and silence 🤫
