💖 LOU_CHECKYAML(1) — like, the manual page but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is lou_checkyaml from the Liblouis family (yes that's the manual name, we're already friends now 🫶) — a whole little tool whose entire job is running Braille tests that you wrote in a YAML file. she's a tester. that's her vibe check. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lou_checkyaml YAML_TEST_FILE

that's it. one argument. main character energy, minimal cast. 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what she does is: she runs the tests defined in YAML_TEST_FILE. and then she tells you how it went — returns 0 if all the tests pass, or 1 if any of the tests fail. ngl, 1 is the "ma'am, something is off" number. 😭

the details of failing tests get printed to stderr. so like, the drama goes to the error stream, not stdout. iykyk. 💀

and she takes options too, which are:

  • -h, --help — displays this help and exits. she's like "here's the whole lore, bye" 💖
  • -v, --version — displays version information and exits. iconique of her, honestly. 👑
  • --verbose — reports expected failures. so like, failures you already knew about get a little shoutout instead of staying silent. not me being nosy about my own tests 🔥
