💖 PRINTCORE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for printcore — yes that's the manual name, it's giving very "section 1, user commands", we move 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

printcore — a simple G-code sender. that's it, that's the whole vibe. simple. iconic. no cap. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

printcore [OPTIONS] PORT FILE

so you hand it a PORT, you hand it a FILE, and you sprinkle [OPTIONS] on top like glitter. periodt. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this manual page documents briefly the printcore command. yes, briefly. we're keeping it cute and concise, we're not writing a novel here. 🙈

printcore is a G-code sender for 3d printers and CNC — like, it takes your G-code and sends it to your machine, that's its whole job and it ate 💅 — and it is part of the printrun suite. it's not out here alone, it's got a whole friend group. iykyk. 👑

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

okay so this is the part where we go through EVERY single flag, no skipping, no "lol you get the idea". we get the idea by reading all of them. obsessed with thoroughness. 🎀

  • -b=BAUD_RATE, --baud=BAUD_RATE — sets the baud rate value. and the default value? 115200. write that down bestie, it's literally the default. ✨
  • -s, --statusreport — prints progress as a percentage</> wait no, as a percentage. like "hey girl, you're 47% of the way there." so satisfying. 💜
  • -v, --verbose — prints additional progress information. more words. more details. more. we love a chatty king. 🗣️
  • -h, --help — shows a summary of options. the "i forgot everything, help me" button. no shame in it, we've all been there. 🫶
  • -V, --version — shows the version of the printrun suite. capital V bestie, don't mix it up with the lowercase -v, they are NOT the same flag and they are NOT interchangeable. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read these too, they're the rest of the squad:

⭐ tiny reminder: -v is verbose and -V is version. one letter case difference, two completely different energy. stay safe out there. 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this lil writeup is from December 12, 2015 and it ships with the printrun suite — literally the same suite that printcore itself belongs to, cute right?? anyway ily, go print something slay 💅✨👑
