PKGKDE-MARK-QT5-PRIVATE-SYMBOLS(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so pkgkde-mark-qt5-private-symbols is a lil helper tool that goes into your Qt symbols files and marks the private symbols for you. that's it. that's the job. it's giving "I do one thing and I ate" 💅

(also hi, you're reading the pkgkde...symbols(1) manual page, welcome to the group chat 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pkgkde-mark-qt5-private-symbols [ --write-results | --print-diff ]

so like… you run it, and then you pick one of those two flags. not both. choose your fighter 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

pkgkde-mark-qt5-private-symbols is a helper tool. its whole entire personality is marking private symbols inside symbols files, and it figures out which ones are private based on the version tags that the Qt buildsystem inserts. so it's not out here guessing, no cap — the buildsystem already left the receipts and this script just reads them 📖✨

the rule is simple and honestly iconic:

• any symbol tagged with Qt_5_PRIVATE_API gets marked as private. periodt. 💅

and now the part where you have to actually pay attention:

if you pass the --print-diff option, this script will print the diff to stdout instead of overwriting the original symbols files. so like, it shows you what it would do instead of just doing it 🙈 — very "let me not touch your files without permission" of it, we love a respectful queen 👑
