✨ ntsc-cc — NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet ntsc-cc 💖 — it's a closed caption decoder. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it lives in the General Commands Manual, section 1. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ntsc-cc [ options ]

like... you just run it, optionally with some options, and it does its little thing. 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — ntsc-cc reads vbi data from /dev/vbi0 and decodes the enclosed cc data. that's literally the whole job. it's giving "small program, big purpose." 👑

and if you're sitting there like "wait what options do I even have??" — no worries, just start it with -h and it will hand you a list of cmd line options. iconic behavior honestly ✨

ngl, /dev/vbi0 is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. make sure it exists before you come for the captions. 💀
