🌸 MAKECBF(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to makecbf, a lil tool from the General Commands Manual era of Unix history, and honestly? she's an icon. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

makecbf — the girl who converts detector images into CBF format. that's the whole job. that's her whole personality and she EATS at it 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

makecbf imagefile cbffile

that's it. two lil arguments. in and out. no cap. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, makecbf is a program that converts certain detector images into CBF format. and when I say certain, I mean she's picky (as she should be 👑).

right now, the program knows how to convert images from these detector types:

  • MAR180
  • MAR300
  • MAR345
  • ADSC quantum

and here's the part that's lowkey the most extra thing about her: makecbf writes the CBF-format image to disk, then reads it right back in again, and then compares it to the original. yes fr, she double-checks her own work. main character energy fr fr 😭💅

also important — makecbf works only from stated files on disk. like, it's not out here streaming or piping or whatever. this is on purpose, bestie: that way random I/O can be used. periodt. 🫶

👑 AUTHOR 👑

makecbf was written by Herbert J. Bernstein. absolute legend, we stan 🫡

this manual page was written by Morten Kjeldgaard <mok@bioxray.au.dk>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others). so yeah, the Debian girlies came through with the docs 💜

also a quick vibe check: she only handles the detector types listed above, so don't come for her about your random other format. she said what she said 💀

and that's the whole page bestie, no notes. this one's dated April 2008 and comes to you courtesy of the General Commands Manual / MAKECBF(1) energy — old school source, new school delivery. slay 💅🌸✨
