✨ NAME ✨

pango-segmentation β€” Pango text segmentation, bestie πŸ’–

Like, it's the pango-segmentation command from the Pango commands crew, and it's here to show you where text actually breaks. Periodt.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pango-segmentation [OPTIONS...] [FILE]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so basically pango-segmentation shows you the text boundaries that Pango figures out for you. That's the whole vibe. πŸ‘‘

And these boundaries? They can be any of these iconic little guys:

  • graphemes (aka cursor positions β€” where your lil cursor would land πŸ‘€)
  • words boundaries
  • word starts and ends
  • line break possibilities
  • sentence boundaries
  • sentence starts and ends

So yeah, whatever kind of boundary you're curious about, it's giving boundaries. πŸ’…


πŸ’– HELP OPTIONS πŸ’–

  • -h, --help β€” shows you the help options. Your classic "wait what does this do again" button, no cap 🫢
  • --version β€” prints the command's version and then dips. exits immediately, bye bestie πŸ‘‹

πŸŽ€ APPLICATION OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • --text=STRING β€” the text to display, instead of pulling it from a FILE. Type it right in there, main character energy ✨
  • --kind=KIND β€” which boundary to show, bestie. KIND can be one of grapheme, word, words, line, sentence, sentences. (default: grapheme) β€” so if you don't say anything, you're getting graphemes, that's just the deal πŸ’œ

lowkey reminder: FILE is optional because --text exists, but you only get one or the other, iykyk πŸ™ˆ

That's the whole page, fr fr. This lil gem lives under the Pango umbrella 🌈, it's pango-segmentation(1) from the Pango commands manual, and yeah β€” go segment something, you icon. πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈπŸ’…
