PCL_PLY2RAW(1)

💖 pcl_ply2raw 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this little icon is literally called pcl_ply2raw and it lives over in section 1 of the manual (you know, the user commands section, where all the fun stuff hangs out) 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ply2raw [OPTION] [[INFILE] OUTFILE]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she do?? she converts from PLY to POV-Ray RAW triangle format. that's it. that's the whole vibe. a glow-up from one format to another, no cap 🦋

here's the tea on her flags:

• -h, --help — shows you the help text and then dips. display this help and exit 💖
• -v, --version — spills the version info and bounces. output version information and exit ✨

now for the actually important part, bestie: if you give her no INFILE/OUTFILE at all, or if INFILE/OUTFILE is literally just -, she reads from standard input and writes to standard output. classic main character behaviour, she's flexible like that 🫶

and here's what she can actually chew on — the following PLY elements and properties are supported:

element vertex

property float32 x property float32 y property float32 z

element face

property list uint8 int32 vertex_indices.

that's the whole menu. no substitutions, no secret off-menu items 🙈
