πŸ’– delp(1) β€” postw32 πŸ’–

okay bestie so like... this is the delp(1) page, and the whole vibe is postw32, the Free Pascal Windows 32-bit executable post processor. she's a little tool that goes in after the fact and tweaks your Windows binaries. no cap, she's niche but she ate. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

postw32 β€” Free Pascal Windows 32-bit executable post processor. literally what it says on the tin, she processes executables. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

postw32 [-vh] [-m subsystem] [-i file] [-V version] [-s size]

that's the whole shape of her. flags, vibes, done. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so postw32 does some post-processing on a Windows 32-bit executable file or library. like, it doesn't build your thing, it just comes in after and handles the finishing touches. πŸ’–

and what can she actually do? three things, and she's obsessed with all of them:

  • set the Windows subsystem
  • set the stack size
  • set the file version

that's it. that's the whole job description. small but mighty. πŸ‘‘


🌈 USAGE 🌈

postw32 needs at least 2 options. bestie, one option is not enough, she's high maintenance like that. 😭

  1. the input filename β€” that's option -i
  2. one of the possible operations, with their arguments

so like, you tell her what to chew on and what to do to it. two jobs minimum. periodt. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

she takes the following options at this time (yes, "at this time", she's evolving):

  • -i file β€” specifies the input file to process. this one is the short notation for the --input option. she needs to know what she's working on, obviously. 🫢
  • -h β€” displays a short help message. short notation for the --help option. when you're lost, she'll hold your hand. 🌸
  • -m subsystem β€” sets the subsystem (aka the application type) to either gui or console. πŸ–₯️
⚠️ heads up bestie: a gui application which writes to the command-line will cause an error. so like... pick wisely, that combo is not it. πŸ’€

this one is the short notation for the --subsystem option.

  • -s size β€” sets the stack size to size bytes. short notation for the --stack option. give her a number, she'll give you room to breathe. 🌬️
  • -v β€” be verbose about the operations that are performed. short notation for the --verbose option. she'll narrate her whole life to you, and honestly? iconic. πŸ”₯
  • -V M.N β€” sets the version of the file to M.N, where M and N are 16 bit unsigned values. short notation for the --version option. ⭐
