✨ OSLINFO ✨ (that's the oslinfo page from the User Commands manual, bestie 💖)

okay so real talk, this is the manual for oslinfo — she lists the parameters of a compiled OSL shader. and before you ask: OSL = Open Shading Language, version 1.15.4.0. yes, all four numbers, i'm not skipping a single one, we respect her 💅

🦋 NAME 🦋

oslinfo — list parameters of a compiled OSL shader

like. that's the whole job. she reads a compiled shader and tells you what params it takes. iconic behaviour, no notes 🌸

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

oslinfo [options] file0 [file1 ...]

notice how you can hand her multiple files? file0, file1, and however many more you want after that. she'll take them all. she's generous like that 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕

oslinfo -- list parameters of a compiled OSL shader. Open Shading Language 1.15.4.0. that's the version, that's the assignment, periodt ✨

and here's every single flag she takes, no gatekeeping, no "i'll tell you later", all of them right now 👑

• --help — print the help message. she'll explain herself. self-aware queen 💅
• -v — verbose output. more words, more info, more everything. say it with your whole chest, girl 🗣️
• --runstats — benchmark the shader loading time for queries. she's timing herself. main character energy fr fr ⏱️
• -p SEARCHPATH — set the search path for shaders. tell her where to go looking 🔍
• --param NAME — output information about just this one parameter. narrow it down, one single param, no extras. lowkey the most useful one ngl 🎯

⚠️ heads up bestie: SEARCHPATH and NAME are placeholders, not literal words you type in. swap in your actual path and your actual parameter name, okay? love you, don't @ me 🙈
