💫 MTBLEXEC — the tea on mTblExec (1) 💫

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because we're doing a whole manual page together and it's giving mystery. This is mTblExec, one lil member of the Montage package fam 🎀 — and yeah, we're reading it in the terminal like the icon you are.

✨ NAME ✨

mTblExec — Undocumented module of the "Montage" package 💀

like... that's the whole name section. she's mysterious. she's not telling us anything. we respect it (we do not respect it, we need answers) 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mTblExec [-d][-o stats.tbl] locations.tbl survey band size [workspace-dir]

that's the whole vibe. the flags, the args, all of it, exactly like that 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the thing, bestie: this module of the Montage package is currently undocumented. that's it. that's the lore. nobody wrote it down. it's just out here, existing, running, saying nothing 🙈

and like, the manpage literally turns to you and goes — if you have an idea what this is about, please create a bug report for this Debian package ✨

fr fr, that's a genuine invitation. if you figure out what mTblExec does, the docs are waiting for YOU. main character energy, go off 💅

now listen, this next bit matters, so no skimming, okay? if your research uses Montage, please include the following acknowledgement, word for word:

"This research made use of Montage. It is funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number ACI-1440620, and was previously funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Earth Science Technology Office, Computation Technologies Project, under Cooperative Agreement Number NCC5-626 between NASA and the California Institute of Technology."

periodt. that's the citation, bestie, don't paraphrase it 💖

also, fun fact that is not a fun fact but IS a real fact: the Montage distribution includes an adaptation of the MOPEX algorithm developed at the Spitzer Science Center 🌌

aaaand that's the whole page! short, sweet, deeply cryptic, absolutely iconic 🌈

this was the MTBLEXEC(1) page from Montage 3.3, dated June 2010 — so yeah, she's been out here being undocumented since before some of us could read 🫶 go file that bug report, iykyk 💜
