MAKEBIN(1)

💖 MAKEBIN(1) — the glow-up edition 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual (section 1, we love a classic), and it's all about a lil tool called makebin. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

makebin — convert a Intel IHX file to binary

(no cap, that's the whole job. it takes your Intel IHX and turns it into a binary. that's it. that's the girl. 💅)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

makebin [options] filename

so like, options first, then the filename. standard main character ordering 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, real talk: this manual page is a brief little summary of the makebin command. it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page of its own 😭. so instead, if you want the full lore, you can read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/sdcc-doc.

and what does it actually do? makebin convert a Intel IHX file to binary. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h — show a summary of the options. your lil cheat sheet, bestie 📋
• -p — pack the file. 📦
• -s romsize — specify the size of the ROM. yes, you literally have to tell it how big the ROM is, it's not gonna guess 🎀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). slay, generous queen 🌈

lowkey reminder bestie: the original program has no manual page of its own, so this whole thing exists purely as a Debian courtesy. go peep /usr/share/doc/sdcc-doc for the deep dive 💜

and that's the whole page fr fr 💖 it's from the General Commands Manual, section 1, no version or date stamp on the footer, just a lone MAKEBIN(1) holding it down at the bottom. periodt. ✨🦋🌸💅
