💖 OSG2CPP 💖

okay bestie, so you know how .osg* files can be out here just... holding shaders hostage? yeah. osg2cpp is the girl who walks in, extracts those shaders from a native .osg* file, and hands them back to you as actual C++ source code. it's giving translator, it's giving glow-up, it's giving glow-up translator. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

osg2cpp [options] filename ...

so it's osg2cpp, then whatever options you're feeling, then one or more filenames. the ... is doing a lot of heavy lifting there — she's not a one-file kind of girl. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --shader <filename> — tells her which shader file to build a .cpp file for. you point at the shader, she makes the C++ out of it. iconic behavior, no notes. 💅
  • --write-to-source-file-directory — instead of you sitting there guessing where the output should live, this makes her use the path of the source filename as the directory she writes to. basically "put it where it came from, babe." 🦋
  • -h or --help — shows you the command line parameters. the classic. the comfort option. when in doubt, ask her for help and she will literally just tell you. 💖
🌸 real talk though — that's the whole page. three options, one synopsis, zero drama. sometimes the manual page is short because the tool knows exactly what it is, and honestly? respect. 👑

and that's a wrap, my love 💜 this page came to you from the OpenSceneGraph girlies, dated September 2019, living in section 1 of the manual as OSG2CPP(1) under User Commands. go extract those shaders bestie, you got this 🌈🧚🍓
