PASTER(1)

✨ PASTER(1) — the pluggable command-line frontend bestie 💅

okay so before we even get into it, this is a General Commands Manual page, and the command you're gonna be typing is paster3. Yes, the man page filename is PASTER(1) and the program is paster3, that's just how the girls are, don't overthink it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

paster3 — a pluggable command-line frontend, and it comes with commands that let you set up package file layouts. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "one tool, many little side quests" ✨

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

paster3 paster3 [OPTION] COMMAND [command_options]

yep, it says paster3 twice. no, we're not editing it, that's the real line, character for character, leave it alone 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, this manual page documents briefly the paster3 command. briefly!! like a quick lil summary, not the whole lore 📖

paster3 is a program that can create file layouts for Python3 packages and serve up web applications, with configuration based on paste.deploy. it can, for instance, create a setuptools-ready file layout. so it's lowkey doing two jobs and honestly? multitasking icon behavior 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, meaning long options start with two dashes (-). a summary of the options is included below, and here it is, all of it, no skipping 💅

• -h, --help — show a summary of options. short king of a flag, very helpful, we love it.
• --version — show the version of the program. know ur roots, bestie 🌱
• --plugin=PLUGINS — add a plugin to the list of commands. quick lil note tho: plugins are Egg specs, and this will also require() the Egg. so it's not just "adding", it's pulling the whole Egg in 🥚✨

👑 COMMANDS 👑

here's the roster, the main cast, the ones who get screen time 🌈

• create — create the file layout for a Python distribution.
• grep — search project for symbol.
