PACINI(1)

📦 version 0.15.0, in arch rolling

💅 PACINI(1) — like, the pacini manual page, bestie

okay so real quick — this is pacini, from the pacutils fam. she's a little icon whose whole job is querying pacman-style configuration files, and honestly? she ate. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pacini — query pacman-style configuration files 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pacini [options] [<file> [<directive>...]]
pacini (--section-list|--help|--version)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the whole vibe is: you've got these pacman-style INI files, right? pacini queries the configuration options out of them. no cap, that's the plot. 👑

Here's the tea on how she behaves, in order, no skipping:

  • If no directives are provided, file will be printed in a normalized format. she's cleaning it up for you, bestie. ✨
  • By default, if only a single directive is provided, only its value will be printed, without the option name. just the value. that's it. that's the whole output. 💅
  • For directives without a value, the directive name will be used as the value. iconic workaround honestly.
  • If file is omitted or it's -, the configuration will be read from stdin. 🫶

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • --section=name — only display directives listed in section name. like a little filter era, we love a filter. 🌈
  • --section-list — list configured sections. all of them. the whole lineup. ⭐
  • --verbose — always show directive names even if only one directive is provided. so she's extra chatty now, main character energy, she's giving full labels. 💀
  • --help — display usage information and exit. she'll explain herself and then dip. 🙈
  • --version — display version information and exit. just the flex, then gone. 👑
ngl if any of that confused you, just run pacini --help and let her say it to your face 🧚
