QELECTROTECH(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so qelectrotech is literally an electric diagrams editor ✨ — that's the whole vibe. bestie, we're drawing circuits today 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qelectrotech [--common-elements-dir=DIR] [--config-dir=DIR]
[--lang-dir=DIR] [--help] [-v|--version] [--license] [FILE]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so QElectroTech is an electric diagrams editor, no cap. Diagrams (*.qet) and electric elements (*.elmt) get stored in the XML format 🎀.

the elements you can use in your diagrams? they come from either the common collection or from the user's own custom collection. the way that works: the common collection is typically readable by all users but it can't be edited by them. meanwhile each user owns their own custom collection and can modify it however they want 🫶 main character energy fr fr.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --common-elements-dir=DIR — uses DIR as the common collection root directory. note: this option is only enabled if the QET_ALLOW_OVERRIDE_CED_OPTION directive was specified at compilation time 👀
• --config-dir=DIR — uses DIR as the current user's configuration directory. this directory hosts a file named qelectrotech.conf, which contains the application configuration, and a subdirectory named elements, which contains the user's elements collection. note: this option is only enabled if the QET_ALLOW_OVERRIDE_CD_OPTION directive was specified at compilation time 👀
• --lang-dir=DIR — looks for the application translation files in the directory DIR 🌈
• --help — displays a short description of the available options 🎀
• -v, --version — displays the application version (e.g.: 0.1) ⭐
• --license — displays the application license (GNU/GPL) 📜

okay so important: if one of the three last options is specified in the command line, the program stops after having displayed the adequate information. periodt 💀

and if an instance of the application launched by the user is still running, that instance will consider the command line, and notably the files to open 🔥. however, options that redefine directories (common collection, configuration and translation files) will not be considered 🙈.

also: if a filename ends with .elmt, QElectroTech will try to open it into an element editor. otherwise, it will consider it as diagrams 🦋
