💅 NAME 💅

Hey bestie, welcome to mkcsmapper(1) — an OFFIS DCMTK situation. This little icon creates csmapper conversion files for oficonv. Periodt. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkcsmapper [-d] [-m | -p] [-o outfile] [infile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the mkcsmapper utility generates binary conversion data from plain text conversion tables for the oficonv library. No cap, that's its whole main-character job. 💫

The conversion data has three components, and yes we're listing all three because details matter:

  • the conversion mapping between specific character encodings,
  • a directory of available mapping files, and
  • a pivot file, which contains the possible source and destination encoding pairs or the set of mappings to use for a compound encoding.

It's giving character-encoding pipeline realness. 🌈

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • infile — input file (from oficonv/datasrc/csmapper) to be converted. That's the glow-up source file, bestie. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

🧚 general options 🧚

  • -d — debug mode, print debug information. Spill the diagnostic tea. 🍓
  • -m — create directory of available mapping files. A whole directory moment. 👑
  • -p — create pivot file. Pivot file supremacy. 🔥
  • -o — [f]ilename: string — store output in file f. Put the result exactly where you want it. 🎀

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

The mkcsmapper utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. So like, 0 is the slay; anything higher is a vibe check failure. 😭
