💖 QRTOOL(1) 💖

okay bestie so real talk — this page lives in the General Commands Manual, and it's your lil' intro to qrtool 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

qrtool — a command-line utility for encoding and decoding QR codes, yes both, she does it all 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

qrtool [OPTION]... COMMAND

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So qrtool is literally a command-line utility for encoding and decoding QR code <https://www.qrcode.com/>. That's the whole gig. She makes QR codes, she reads QR codes. Iconic behavior, no notes 👑

👑 COMMANDS 👑

  • qrtool-encode(1) — Encode input data in a QR code. You give it data, it gives you a cute little square 🌈
  • qrtool-decode(1) — Detect and decode a QR code. You give it a square, it gives you the data back 🔍
  • qrtool-completion(1) — Generate shell completion. So your shell can finish your sentences for you, main character energy fr fr ✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -h, --help — Print help message. here's the tea tho: the short flag (-h) prints a condensed help message, while the long flag (--help) prints a detailed one. so like, -h is the tl;dr and --help is the whole story 😌
  • -V, --version — Print version number. tiny flag, big flex 💅

🍓 EXIT STATUS 🍓

  • 0 — Successful program execution. slay, it worked 🎉
  • 1 — An error occurred. 😭 not slay
  • 2 — An error occurred while parsing command-line arguments. bestie the syntax was off 💀

Exit statuses other than these are defined by <sysexits.h> <https://man.openbsd.org/sysexits>. so if you see something weird, that's where she got it from 🧚
