ouch-decompress(1)

💖 ouch-decompress(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ouch-decompress page — this is the General Commands Manual entry for it and honestly? it's giving "small page, big power". it lives in the ouch CLI, and it does exactly one beautiful thing: it unzips your life. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ouch-decompress — decompresses one or more files, optionally into another folder. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ouch decompress [-d|--dir] [-y|--yes] [--here] [-n|--no]
[-A|--accessible] [-r|--remove] [-H|--hidden] [-q|--quiet]
[-g|--gitignore] [-f|--format] [-p|--password] [-c|--threads]
[-h|--help] <FILES>

like yes she has a lot of flags but every single one is carrying its weight, no cap. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

decompresses one or more files, optionally into another folder. iconic behavior, honestly. you point her at some archives, she opens them up. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -d, --dir <OUTPUT_DIR> — decompress inside OUTPUT_DIR instead of the basename-derived subdirectory. so instead of her making up a folder name from the file, you pick the spot. main character energy. 🎀
• -y, --yes — skip the [Y/n] questions, default to yes. she just goes. no stopping, no asking, straight to slay. 💅
• --here — extract directly into the current directory, like tar -xf and unzip do. lowkey the "no folder, just vibes" option. 🌈
• -n, --no — skip the [Y/n] questions, default to no. same skipping energy, opposite answer. 🙈
• -A, --accessible — activate accessibility mode, reducing visual noise. less chaos, more calm. we love a considerate queen. 💜
• -r, --remove — remove the source file after successful decompression. she cleans up after herself, periodt. 🔥
• -H, --hidden — ignore hidden files. those dotfiles are NOT invited to the party. 💀
• -q, --quiet — silence output. no talking, just working. quiet luxury, literally. 🤫
• -g, --gitignore — ignore files matched by git's ignore files. she respects the .gitignore, as she should. 👑
• -f, --format <FORMAT> — specify the format of the archive. when you know better than her guess (and sometimes you do), you tell her. ⭐
• -p, --password <PASSWORD> — decompress or list with password. for the archives that are locked 🔒 and a little mysterious. 🧚
• -c, --threads <THREADS> — concurrent working threads. more threads = more girlies working at once. 💖
• -h, --help — print help. the classic "wait what were the flags again" button. 🦋
• <FILES> — files to be decompressed, or "-" for stdin. yes bestie, a literal "-" and she'll read from stdin. iconique. 🌟

heads up 🫶 — -y and -n are both about the [Y/n] questions, they just pick opposite defaults. don't run both and expect her to be normal about it. 😭

sign-off time ✨ — this beauty comes from the decompress corner of the manual set and yes, she is officially catalogued as ouch-decompress(1). go forth, unzip responsibly, and remember: every archive is just a present you forgot you wrapped. 🎁💖🌸
