💖 NAME 💖

metar_filter — no cap, it's the manual page for metar_filter. That's the whole name situation, bestie. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the tea, and I need you to stay with me: this DESCRIPTION section is out here living its own whole life. It's got a NAME, a DESCRIPTION, a USAGE and an OPTIONS all nested up inside it like little matryoshka dolls. 🪆

And then — not me — the entire thing gets copy-pasted twice. 🙈 So I'm giving you both servings, with a cute lil label on each, plus the real top-level OPTIONS section after. Nothing dropped, nothing merged. Periodt. 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

Hi yes hello, it's the actual top-level OPTIONS list, and she is serving the exact same six flags as her two twins above. Repetition is a lifestyle, iykyk. 👑

💀 Tiny reality check, bestie: that's literally all she wrote. No ENVIRONMENT, no EXIT STATUS, no SEE ALSO, no FILES, no authors, no license, no examples. Just vibes and flags. If you were waiting for more sections to show up, they are not coming. 🫶

Anyway — that whole page belongs to metar_filter, dated October 2026, and baby it's a METAR_FILTER(1) through and through. Mwah. 💅✨
