OPENSLIDE-SHOW-PROPERTIES(1)

💖 OPENSLIDE-SHOW-PROPERTIES(1) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the User Commands section of the manual, and today's main character is openslide-show-properties — she's giving classic, she's giving legacy, and she's here to spill every property your slide file has been hiding. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

openslide-show-properties — print OpenSlide properties for a slide

like. that's it. that's her whole job and she ate. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

openslide-show-properties [--help] [--version] slide...

yep, you just hand her one or more slides and she yaps about them. no cap. 🦋

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

Print OpenSlide properties for one or more virtual slide files.

literally that's the vibe. you give her slides, she reads them, she tells you everything OpenSlide knows about them. it's giving "tell me everything about yourself" but for .svs files. 🔥

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --help — display a usage summary. your girl will explain herself if you ask nicely. 🥺
• --version — display version and copyright information. she'll tell you who she is and who made her, iconic behaviour tbh. 👑

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

here's the vibe check on whether it worked:

• 0 — success!! slay, everything was fine. 🎉
• 1 — a slide file could not be read. 😭 not her fault, the file said no.
• 2 — the arguments are invalid. 🙈 you typed something cursed bestie.

---

🌈 NOTES 🌈

okay important tea ☕ — openslide-show-properties is a legacy command and no new features will be added. she's not getting any more glow-ups, periodt.

her replacement is the prop list subcommand of slidetool(1). so if you're starting something new, go hang out with slidetool instead. iykyk. 💜
