💅 obgui(1) — the Open Babel graphical user interface, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for obgui, section 1 of the User's Reference Manual, and it is adorably short. like, no notes, it's giving "confident and concise." let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

obgui — the Open Babel graphical user interface 💖

like yes bestie, it's a whole GUI. windows. buttons. little molecules you can click on with your mouse instead of typing into a terminal like it's 1998. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

obgui

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. you literally just type obgui and off you go. no arguments, no flags, no ✨extra✨. sometimes simplicity is the main character energy 🫶

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • none, bestie — there are no command line options. not one. not a single flag. it's a GUI, she doesn't do that 💀
fr fr, don't go hunting for --help or -v or anything. the page says there are none and we respect the page 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

obgui is the Open Babel graphical user interface — a whole alternative to using the command line with the same capabilities. so like, everything you can do with the command line, you can do with the GUI. same power, but with pixels and vibes ✨🖱️

it's giving "same girl, different outfit." the capabilities didn't change, she just put on a nicer dress 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • obabel(1) — the command line bestie. same capabilities, no window decorations ✨
