🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, meet mtx-tools — literally Some File Related Goodies. that's the whole pitch. file-related. goodies. we love a humble queen 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mtxrun --script tools [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

so you don't run this one all by itself, no ma'am — you call it through mtxrun, with --script tools, and then you hand it whatever OPTIONS and FILENAMES your little heart desires. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Some File Related Goodies.

that's it. that's the description. she's giving mystery, she's giving understatement, she's giving "the name already said everything." iconic behavior honestly. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --disarmutfbomb — if there's a utf bomb lurking in there, this removes it. defusing the situation, very demure, very mindful. 💣
  • --force — remove it indeed. like, actually, for real, no take-backs.
  • --dirtoxml — glob a whole directory and spit it out as xml. ✨
  • --pattern — the glob pattern you wanna match. default is *.
  • --url — url attribute. and nope, no processing happens to it, it just sits there being a url.
  • --root — the root of the path you're globbing. default is . (yes, just a lil dot, we love a humble default).
  • --output — where the output goes. default is the console, so if you don't say anything she's just gonna talk at you. 💬
  • --recurse — recurse into subdirectories. going deeper. 🌀
  • --stripname — takes the pathpart of the pattern you gave. bye path, only vibes remain.
  • --longname — sets the name attributes to the full path name. no shortening, no abbreviating, full government name energy. 👑
  • --downcase — lowercase the names. tiny letters only. 🍼
  • --showstring — show the unicode characters in a string you give it.
  • --showfile — show the unicode characters in a file you give it.
  • --pattern — the glob pattern again (default: *). she said it twice because she meant it, periodt.
  • --recurse — recurse into subdirectories again. still going deeper. still iconic.
  • --force — downcase indeed. the sequel. the encore. the "yes I really meant it." 💀
bestie heads up: a few of these bad boys show up more than once in the list — --pattern, --recurse and --force all get a second moment. that's not me being messy, that's literally how she's written. 🌈
