okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual π β yes this is that iconic ropy page, and no, we are not skipping a single crumb. sit down, grab a strawberry π, and let's get into it.
πΈ NAME πΈ
ropy β calculate entropy measurement of byte streams π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
ropy FILE
that's it. one whole argument. she's lowkey minimalist like that β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea β β the library libdisorder provides a function that calculates the Shannon index (H) of byte streams. no cap, that's literally what it does. πβ¨
and ropy? this program is provided as an example, and it does exactly that β the Shannon index thing β for a given file. ποΈπ
so like, you hand it a file, it hands you entropy vibes. that's the whole relationship. main character energy honestly π
ngl bestie, "provided as an example" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here β it's a demo program for libdisorder, not some fully-loaded entropy suite. treat her accordingly π«Ά
π AUTHOR π
this manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution, and β icon behavior fr fr β it can be used for any other usage of the program. π
periodt. π
and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left absolutely no crumbs π½οΈβ¨
sign-off moment π: this is libdisorder 0.0.2, dated June 2016. she's been slaying since 2016 and she's still here. iykyk π
