MANIFAKE(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet manifake — this is the MANIFAKE(1) page from the General Commands Manual. She creates a MANIFEST.new out of a MANIFEST file. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

manifake

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Manifake is a real simpleminded program — and honestly? iconic for it. She takes a MANIFEST file, like one produced by a shar program, and creates a MANIFEST.new file ready to be used by all the dist programs. no cap.

What she actually does: all archive numbers are removed, and the optional leading comments up to a dashed-line are thrown away. bye bye 💨

You'll typically use Manifake when you're converting an existing package to use metaconfig or any other dist utility. it's giving package-glow-up energy ✨
