✨ NAME ✨

ouch-compress — compress one or more files into one output file 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to ouch-compress(1), fresh from the General Commands Manual. This is the page for smooshing one or more files into one output file, and honestly? iconic behavior.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ouch compress [-l|--level] [-y|--yes] [--fast] [-n|--no]
[-A|--accessible] [--slow] [-H|--hidden] [-S|--follow-symlinks]
[-q|--quiet] [-g|--gitignore] [-f|--format] [-p|--password]
[-c|--threads] [-h|--help] <FILES> <OUTPUT>

So you call ouch compress, sprinkle in whatever flags you need, and hand over your <FILES> plus your <OUTPUT>. Main character energy, fr fr.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Compress one or more files into one output file.

That's the whole assignment, bestie. Multiple files in, one output file out. No cap, that's literally the plot 💅.

Here's the full flag menu — every single one, because we do not skip details in this group chat ✨

• -l, --level <LEVEL> — Compression level, applied to all formats 💖
• -y, --yes — Skip [Y/n] questions, default to yes ✅
• --fast — Fastest compression level possible, conflicts with --level and --slow 🔥
• -n, --no — Skip [Y/n] questions, default to no 🙅
• -A, --accessible — Activate accessibility mode, reducing visual noise 🫶
• --slow — Slowest (and best) compression level possible, conflicts with --level and --fast 👑

⚠️ Conflict check, bestie: --fast conflicts with --level and --slow; --slow conflicts with --level and --fast. Keep that in mind 💀

Cute sign-off 💖 Source/version corner says compress, the manual tag says ouch-compress(1), and the date slot is giving timeless little mystery era ✨ Bye bestie — go compress something iconic! 🎀
