💖 PRINTCBM 💖

okay bestie, so this is printcbm from the General Commands Manual — it's the lil cutie that lists a Commodore BASIC file for you. but um. it's DEPRECATED. more on that in a sec, don't panic 💅

🚨 NOTICE 🚨

As of xa 2.4, printcbm is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. 💀

not me being the bearer of bad news but fr fr, she's on her way out. the glow-up you actually want is VICE petcat(1) — please consider migrating your usage over there, because it has many more options. it's giving main character energy and honestly it ate. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

printcbm FILE

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she even do?? simple. printcbm lists all lines of the specified Commodore BASIC program. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand her a FILE, she gives you back every line. iconic behavior, no cap. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help — show a summary of options. the classic "wait what do you do again" button, we love her 💖
  • --version — show the version of the program. gotta know which era of printcbm you're talking to 🦋
