PULSAR(1)

💖 PULSAR(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, because today we're talking about pulsar, and honestly? she's kind of a big deal. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pulsar — the Pulse editor of ODIN. that's it, that's the whole vibe. a whole editor. for pulses. iconic behavior. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pulsar [options] [<pulsar_file>]

literally just run her with whatever options you want and optionally hand her a <pulsar_file> to open. lowkey the simplest thing about her, ngl.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pulsar is the Pulse editor of ODIN, periodt. 💅

and not me telling you this is part of a whole bigger situation — she's part of odin 2.0.5, built with this exact configuration:

using_gcc debug gui(:5) standalone dl posix_threads libz gsl nifti vtk dicom png ismrmrd gdb

no cap, that's the whole build list. she was compiled with gcc, in debug mode, with gui support on display :5, standalone, with dl, posix_threads, libz, gsl, nifti, vtk, dicom, png, ismrmrd and gdb in the mix. a whole buffet. a whole meal. ate. 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's where it gets fun, bestie. every single flag, coming right up:

• -noedit — view-only mode 🥺. you can look, you just can't touch. she's giving museum exhibit.
• -s <file> — loads up the system defaults from <file>. starting fresh but make it official.
• -v <loglevel> or -v <component:loglevel> — debugging/tracing time 🐛✨. give her a single loglevel and she traces all the components, or give her a component:loglevel pair and she traces just that one component. flexible queen.

and the possible values for loglevel are, in order, no skipping:

1. 0 — noLog (she's silent, she's mysterious)
2. 1 — errorLog
3. 2 — warningLog
4. 3 — infoLog
5. 4 — significantDebug
6. 5 — normalDebug
7. 6 — verboseDebug (maximum yapping, we love her for it 💀)

• -h, --help, -help, --version — prints the help text or the version info. four whole ways to ask, because she's generous like that. 🎀

real talk though bestie: that -noedit flag is genuinely strict — it's view-only mode, so don't expect to edit anything while it's on. no notes, no exceptions. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this page doesn't actually list any SEE ALSO references, so consider this your lil reminder that she's part of the bigger odin 2.0.5 family. iykyk. 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie — you understood it, you slayed it, you're basically a pulsar expert now. 🧚⭐

this was pulsar version 2.0.5, dated October 2021, straight out of the User Commands manual. mwah. take care of her. 💖🎀🦋
