💅 PODSTRIP(1) — bestie's guide to stripping pod off a file 💖

okay so you found podstrip in the PODSTRIP(1) manual and you're like "what is this little icon doing" — don't worry, I got you. she's small, she's cute, she does exactly one thing, and she slays while doing it. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

podstrip — strip pod from a file, output what's left. that's it. that's the whole girl. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

"podstrip" sourceFile destFile

["-?" | "-help" | "-h"]

so basically you hand her a sourceFile, you tell her where you want the destFile, and she goes to work. and if you're confused (relatable, it's giving lost-in-the-group-chat energy 🥺), there's the classic help trio: -?, -help, or -h. pick your fighter. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ngl, here's where it gets a liiittle chaotic, so stay with me bestie.

pod2html reads the POD in file sourceFile, translates it to HTML, and writes it to file destFile. 😭

and the tea? destFile is created world-readable. everyone can see her. she's out there living her main character life, no privacy settings, no nothing. 🌈

🫶 lowkey heads up: the NAME section says "strip pod", and the DESCRIPTION says pod2html translates to HTML. that's literally what the page says, so I'm just handing you the facts exactly as they came. no edits, no notes, we don't argue with the source. 💀

⭐ REQUIRES ⭐

she's not doing this alone, she has a whole friend group:

  • Pod::Stripper
  • Pod::Usage
  • Getopt::Long

iconic lineup, honestly. 🧚

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • Pod::Striper

(yes, one p here. that's what the page says, i'm not touching it, i don't make the rules 💅)
