💾 MODIINFO(1) 💾

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to meet modiinfo from the LOCAL manual, section 1 — and she is so useful it's giving main character energy fr fr. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

modiinfo — figures out the deets about a Mac OS disk image 🍓

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

modiinfo [-hvV] source

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, modiinfo is a lil utility whose whole job is to determine information about a Mac OS disk image. no cap, that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

she's part of the libmodi package — and libmodi is a library to access Mac OS disk image formats. icon behavior honestly. 👑

source is the source file. that's the one you point her at. 🫶

The options are as follows:

  • -h — shows this help. short king of flags, we love her. 🙈
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. she'll spill all the tea to stderr. 💬
  • -V — print version. just the version, nothing extra. ✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None

🦋 FILES 🦋

None

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

okay so watch this, she ate and left no crumbs:

# modiinfo folder-ufbi.dmg
modiinfo 20210403

Mac OS disk image information:

        Image type:             UDIF uncompressed
        Media size:             4.0 MiB (4194304 bytes)

like??? she literally told you the image type and the media size in bytes. no notes. 🔥

🧚 DIAGNOSTICS 🧚

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled.

heads up bestie: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you built her without it, -v can't do the thing. compile-time behavior is compile-time behavior, iykyk. 😭
