OBUS-XML2IDL(1)

💖 OBUS-XML2IDL 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the obus-xml2idl(1) page, a general commands manual moment, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge glow-up". ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

obus-xml2idl — the lil bestie that converts a D-Bus introspection file into an obus IDL one. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

obus-xml2idl [ options ] input-file

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: obus-xml2idl generates an obus IDL file from a D-Bus xml introspection file. and once you have that file? you can literally pass it to the other obus tools, like obus-gen-interface, obus-gen-client, and obus-gen-server. the whole squad. 🫶

and the goal of the obus IDL (iykyk) is to let you write a D-Bus interface with a syntax that is lighter than XML. yes queen, less angle brackets, more main character energy. 💅✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -o file-name — use this name as the output. default vibe? it takes the input file name and swaps the extension out for "obus". so cute, so predictable. 🎀
• -help or --help — shows you a short usage summary and then dips. that's it, that's the whole thing. exit stage left. 💀
