💖 NUMBOUND — the boundary-number bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is numbound, section 1 of the manual, and it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. she finds the edges of your number pile. the literal edges. the min and the max. that's her whole personality and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's how you summon her:

numbound [-dhlV] <FILE>

| numbound [-dhlV]     (Input on STDIN from pipeline.)

numbound [-dhlV]       (Input on STDIN.  Use Ctrl-D to stop.)

so yeah, give her a file, or pipe stuff in, or just run her raw and type numbers at her until you hit Ctrl-D to stop. she's flexible like that 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

numbound goes through files or STDIN and finds the boundary numbers — that's the minimum and the maximum, bestie, the two ends of the vibe.

by default she hands you the upper bound of the number set, aka the maximum number, from your files or your STDIN. and if you want the other end? the little guy? the smallest one? pass -l and she'll give you the lower bound — the minimum number. easy. no cap. ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -l — returns the lower bound number in the set, a.k.a. the minimum number. she'll dig for the smallest one instead of the biggest 🥺
  • -h — help. and like… you're literally looking at it right now, bestie. this is the help 👑
  • -V — crank up the verbosity. more talking. more info. she gets chatty 💬
  • -d — debug mode. this one's for the developers, not for us regular girlies 🛠️

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl there's a known little oopsie: numbound currently only grabs the first number on each line instead of all the numbers on the lines. so if you stacked a whole squad of numbers on one line, she's only clocking the first one. rude, but true 😭
