💖 PSICONV 💖

okay bestie, welcome to psiconv(1) — a General Commands Manual page for the little translator that takes your dusty Psion files and makes them ✨make sense✨ to literally everyone else. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

🌸 NAME 🌸

psiconv — translate Psion 5 and other EPOC device files. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

psiconv [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-o|--outputfile] [-s|--silent]
[-T|--type=FILETYPE] [-V|--version] [-v|--verbose] [-u|--UTF8] [FILE ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page is here to explain the psiconv program to you, and ngl it's not that deep. Psiconv translates Psion 5 and other EPOC device files into formats that are, like, more commonly used. it's giving glow-up. 👑

and the way it works? psiconv is a filter. that means:

  • the output goes to stdout unless you use the -o option 🫶
  • the input gets read from stdin if you don't hand it any files

no cap, that's the whole vibe. pipe in, pipe out, main character energy. 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

here's every single one, no skips, no skimming, we're being thorough because that's the girlboss way:

  • -d, --debug — show debug information on stderr 🔍
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit, bye bestie 👋
  • -o, --outputfile — output to a file instead of stdout 🎀
  • -s, --silent — do not even show warnings on stderr. like, not even those. shhh. 🤫
  • -T, --type=FILETYPE — the output type ✨
  • -V, --version — display the program version and exit 💖
  • -v, --verbose — show progress indicators on stderr so you can watch her work 👀
  • -u, --UTF8 — the input file is encoded in UTF8 🌸

👑 LICENCE 👑

Psiconv is released under the Gnu General Public License, version 2 or higher. legally iconic, periodt. ⭐

😭 BUGS 😭

many more formats should be supported. that's the tea. fr fr. 💀
