✨ OSMCOASTLINE_READMETA ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this lil icon is osmcoastline_readmeta from the OSMCOASTLINE_READMETA(1) manual, and she's here to spill all the tea about your coastline database 🫖💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

osmcoastline_readmeta — she reads out the metadata from a database that was made by osmcoastline. that's it, that's the job, and she's obsessed with it 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

osmcoastline_readmeta [COASTLINE-DB]

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you how to use her. your basic "hi bestie here's the deal" moment 💬
  • -V, --version — spills the program version AND the license info. iconic, transparent, no gatekeeping 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this program displays all kinds of meta data from a database that was created by the osmcoastline program. literally just vibes and receipts, no cap 💅

if you don't specify a database name on the command line, she just defaults to testdata.db. yes fr, that's the default 🌈

what gets displayed? oh bestie, so much:

  • the command line options that were used to create the database 👀
  • some statistics about the coastline 📊
  • the number of warnings and errors that got detected ⚠️
  • and more ✨
⚠️ ok important one, don't skip this: this will only work if the (default) "SQLite" output format was used on the osmcoastline program. any other format and she simply cannot, sorry 💀
