💖 qextract(1) — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a tiny little icon and you're gonna learn it in like twelve seconds. it's qextract, a General Commands Manual page, and it does exactly one job but it does it flawlessly. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

qextract — Extract an wriions from FITS files 🦋

(yes, "wriions". that's literally what the page says. we do not edit the lore, we preserve the lore. 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qextract <in> <extension>

two things in, one file out. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so here's the tea: qextract reads a FITS file with many extensions, and writes the desired extension into a new FITS file. it's giving "picking your fave out of a crowded group photo and giving them their own solo cover". 👑

and the range?? it supports FITS images, ASCII and BINARY tables. versatile queen. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• none — literally none. zero flags. no -h, no --help, no secret little extras. the command is the options. it's giving minimalist main character energy and honestly? obsessed. ✨

🌈 FILES 🌈

• Files shall all comply with FITS format. (rules are rules, bestie, we don't make them, we just respect them 🙈)
• The produced file is named "ext#.xxx" where # is the number of the requested extension and xxx is:
  • fits if the extension is a FITS image 💖
  • TFITS if the extension is a TFITS table 🧚

so like, you ask for extension number 3 and it's an image? boom, ext3.fits. it's a TFITS table? ext3.TFITS. the naming scheme is right there in the name, iykyk. 💀
