NIFTI_TOOL(1)
π NIFTI_TOOL π
okay so bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading the nifti_tool page from the NIFTI_TOOL(1) manual, and ngl it is a whole vibe. Multipurpose manipulation tool for NIfTI files. That's the energy. Let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
nifti_tool β a multipurpose manipulation tool for NIfTI files. yes, multipurpose. it does many things. it contains multitudes. main character behavior fr fr π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
soβ¦ the synopsis section is, and I need you to sit down for this, literally empty in the original. not me hyping up a section that has nothing in it π no usage line, no arguments, nothing. it's giving minimalism. it's giving mystery. the synopsis said "figure it out" and left π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
here's what the original description tells us, and I'm quoting the entire thing because there is genuinely nothing else:
This tool can
and thenβ¦ nothing. it just stops. "This tool can." can WHAT bestie π the sentence is out here unhinged, dangling, in its flop era. we do not know what it can do. the possibilities are endless and also completely unspecified. iconic honestly π
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
okay so the OPTIONS section is organized into little themed groups. the groups have names! the groups do not have any options listed under them in this version. I'm reporting the tea exactly as it is, no cap, no additions, no guesses π
πΈ Check options
πΈ Create options
πΈ Copy options
πΈ Display options
πΈ Modification options
πΈ Add, remove options
πΈ Difference options
πΈ Miscellaneous options
πΈ Help options
every single one of those groups is empty here. a beautiful, curated collection of empty shelves. the way that the structure is fully there and the contents fully aren't π I'm not gonna invent flags for you bestie, that would be lying and lying is not cute.
β¨ EXAMPLES β¨
empty too. zero examples. no commands to copy-paste, no little nifti_tool ... lines to steal. we are on our own out here π
β¨ SEE ALSO β¨
go bother these instead, they're right there:
and the homepage: http://niftilib.sourceforge.net β go say hi, it's the source of truth π¦
β¨ AUTHOR β¨
so the NIfTI libraries themselves were written by the NIfTI Data Format Working Group (DFWG, http://nifti.nimh.nih.gov/ ). shoutout to the group chat that built the whole thing π«Ά
and this manual page? it was generated by a custom script, written by Michael Hanke <michael.hanke@gmail.com> (available within the Debian package), built from the help output of the nifti_tool binary. so yes, this page was auto-generated, which explains a lot about the empty sections, and honestly? respect. the script did its best. slay β¨
and that's the whole page bestie β brought to you by Michael Hanke, hanging out at the bottom of the NIFTI_TOOL(1) manual like the little legend it is. mwah π π
