QMC:(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about qmc — a User Commands legend that lives in section 1 of the manual. she's a simplification tool, and she does it with the Quine - McClusky process. no cap. 🧚✨

✨ NAME ✨

QMC: — simplification tool (by using the Quine - McClusky process). that's it. that's the whole identity. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

qmc [OPTION]

one binary. one optional flag slot. the range? unmatched. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Simplification tool by using the Quine - McClusky process. yes that's the entire description, she's mysterious like that, main character energy fr fr. 🎀

💜 OPTIONS 💜

every single one, bestie, i'm not skipping a single flag, that would be a crime:

  • -a, --avoidast — avoid astericks at the output 🙈
  • -d, --describesyntax — descibe the syntax for the EQU 👑
  • -g, --gettable — get boolean table 🍓
  • -G --gethtmltable — get boolean table as HTML output 🌈
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit 🫶
  • -p, --prompt — prompt for equation 💬
  • -s, --source EQU — set one side of the equation ✨
  • -t, --table — set boolean table 📊
  • -T, --time — display used time ⏱️
  • -v, --verbose — print progress 📢
  • --version — output version information and exit 🎉
lowkey note: -G is written as -G --gethtmltable in the original — no comma between them, just vibes and a double space. i'm preserving that exactly because the facts do NOT change around here. 💀

🎀 A few samples: 🎀

here's the tea, actual runnable examples, copied character for character because i would never:

qmc -s "/[a+b]*[/b*c]" qmc -g -s "x + //y * [ z + /z * y ] * 1"
qmc -T -s "a*/b+c+d+e*/c+f*e" qmc -p

(symbols are recognized as single char's) 🔤 — yes bestie, single char's. one. uno. don't come for her.
