💖 MGLCONV(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the MGLCONV(1) page from the User Manuals — it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "tiny page, big job" and honestly? iconic. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mgl.cgi — runs MathGL scripts and pops out a PNG image, no cap 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mgl.cgi [CGI_of_MGL]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: mgl.cgi reads a CGI query with an MGL script straight from standard input, and then it drops the resulting PNG image right into standard output. that's it. that's the whole thing. in through the stdin door, out through the stdout door, image acquired 💅

like… it's literally a glow-up pipeline for your MGL script, fr fr. 🫶

ngl bestie, remember the direction of the flow: stdin in, stdout out. don't mix them up 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑
