💖 recfix(1) — the check-your-recfile bestie 💖

sooo this is the recfix page from the User Commands manual, and honestly? it's giving cleanup crew energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

recfix — check a recfile for errors 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

recfix [OPTION]... [OPERATION] [OP_OPTION]... [FILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, so recfix checks and fixes rec files. that's the whole vibe. fr fr. 🫶

  • --no-external — literally do not use external descriptors. not today. 🙈
  • --force — force the operation you asked for, whether it wants to or not. main character energy. 👑
  • --help — prints a help message and then dips out. ✨
  • --version — shows the version and exits, iconic behavior. 💖

⭐ Operations: ⭐

pick your fighter, bestie:

  • --check — checks the integrity of the file you specified. this one is the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get. 🎀
  • --sort — sorts the records in the specified file. no cap. 🔥
  • --auto — inserts auto-generated fields into the records that are missing them. it's giving helpful. 🧚
  • --encrypt — encrypts the confidential fields in the specified file. 🤫
  • --decrypt — decrypts the confidential fields in the specified file. 🗝️

💜 De/Encryption options: 💜

  • -s, --password=PASSWORD — encrypt/decrypt with this password. that's the one, bestie. 🔐
heads up!! if you don't specify a FILE, then the command acts like a filter — it gets the data from standard input and writes the result to standard output. so it just flows right on through. 🌊
