OPNK(1)

💖 OPNK 💖

okay bestie, so this is opnk from the General Commands Manual — it's the universal open command for offpunk, and yes it's spelled like a punk on purpose, we love a name with attitude 💅

✨ NAME ✨

opnk — universal open (like a punk) for offpunk 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

opnk [-mode MODE] [-cache-validity CACHE_VALIDITY] [INPUT ...]
opnk -h | --help

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: opnk is a universal open command tool, and its whole vibe is "I will figure out how to display literally anything for you". It tries to show any file in the pager less(1) after rendering its content with ansicat(1). Iconic behaviour, no notes.

But if that fails, it does not panic, it does not spiral — it just falls back to opening the file with xdg-open(1). Adaptable queen 💅

And if what you handed it is an URL instead of a path? Then it leans on netcache(1) to go get the networked content for you. main character energy fr fr 🌈

🍓 Positional arguments

• INPUT — the path to the file, or the URL, that you want to open. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

🧚 Keyword arguments

• -h, --help — shows you a help message and then exits. your little safety net when you're lost 💖
• --mode MODE — the MODE you want to use to render, and you pick between normal (which is the default, bestie), full or source ✨
• --cache-validity -CACHE_VALIDITY — the maximum age (in second) of the cached version before it redownloads a whole new version. so like, how stale are we willing to tolerate before we go grab fresh content 🌸

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

The opnk utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. so 0 = slay, anything above = something went sideways 😭
