✨ pencode — complex payload encoder ✨

okay bestie so pencode is literally this little command that stacks a bunch of transformations on top of each other and spits out a payload 💅 it's pencode(1), it's iconic, it's giving hacker-girl main character energy, and you're gonna love it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pencode — complex payload encoder 🎀

---

🦋 USAGE 🦋

pencode FUNC1 FUNC2 FUNC3...

so the whole vibe is: you pass a chain of functions and they run one after another, like a little relay race of encoding 🏃♀️✨

pencode reads input from stdin by default, which is typically piped from another process. like, that's the normal way, that's the moment, that's the whole thing 💖

---

🫶 OTHER 🫶

the miscellaneous girlies, the ones that don't fit in a box, and we respect that 🙈

• filename.tmpl — Replaces string #PAYLOAD# in content of a file that has .tmpl extension. like it's a template, it's a little fill-in-the-blank, it's adorable honestly 🎀
• lower — Convert string to lowercase 🌸
• upper — Convert string to uppercase 👑

---

ngl the #PAYLOAD# thing? chef's kiss. you write a template file ending in .tmpl, drop #PAYLOAD# wherever the payload should land, and it just slots in there. no cap 💖
