MAKE_ENCMAP(1)

📦 version 2.11, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🦋 MAKE_ENCMAP(1) — like, the perl manual page for make_encmap 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's about a tiny little script called make_encmap. she's small, she's focused, she does one thing. main character energy fr.

✨ NAME ✨

make_encmap — creates an XML representation from an Unicode mapping file 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

make_encmap <name> <file>

that's it. two args. no drama. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so make_encmap creates an XML encmap file with a given name, and it builds it from an Unicode mapping file — like the ones you'd get from <ftp://ftp.unicode.org> btw. 👑

and where does the result go? by default, it just gets output to stdout. classic. no files sneaking around behind your back. 💖

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • <name> — the name you want set in the XML encmap file that gets created. it's giving "name your child" but for encmaps. 🍼
  • <file> — the Unicode mapping file you're building the XML encmap file from. the source material. the origin story. 🌸

✨ OPTIONS ✨

None. zero. nada. she doesn't take options, she takes vibes only. 💀

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

okay here's the cute little demo, using the ISO/IEC 8859-15 table so you can see it in action:

wget ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/8859-15.TXT
make_encmap 8859-15 8859-15.TXT E<gt> 8859-15.encmap

fetch the table, feed it in, redirect the output into 8859-15.encmap. slay. 🔥

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

  • 0 — the script exited normally. we love a clean exit. 💚
  • 2 — invalid command-line arguments. bestie, check your args. 😭
  • >2 — an error occurred. something went sideways, and it's bigger than an arg problem. 💀

✨ KNOWN BUGS ✨

None. not a single one. flawless behaviour, allegedly. 👑✨
