✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is a section 1 "User Commands" page and it's all about lou_tableinfo — literally a tool to query metadata from a liblouis Braille translation table. that's it, that's the vibe 😌

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

lou_tableinfo [KEY] TABLE

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it actually do? No cap, it prints all the table metadata defined in TABLE — every single field, the whole info dump, the full main-character moment ✨. But if you pass a KEY, it gets picky and only prints that one specific metadata field. iykyk.

And here's the vibe check on exit codes, because they matter:

  • it returns 0 if the metadata you asked for could actually be found 🎉
  • it returns 1 otherwise 💀

That's the whole deal. Simple. Iconic. Periodt.

🎀 the flags 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you this help and then peaces out. classic. 🙈
  • -v, --version — shows you the version information and then exits. 👑
