                        --lon1=longitude --lat1=latitude
                        --lon2=longitude --lat2=latitude [...
                        --lon99=longitude --lat99=latitude] [--reverse]

like, that's the whole vibe in one block 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So routino-router+lib-slim does the actual calculation of the optimum routes using the database generated by the planetsplitter(1) program. that's it, that's the job, and she eats every single time 🔥

the way she's different from routino-router(1)?? she uses the libroutino shared library. main character energy, honestly ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --version — prints the version of Routino. iconic, she knows who she is 👑
• --help — prints out the help information. bestie will explain herself, no gatekeeping 🎀
• --dir=dirname — the directory containing the routing database. that's where she lives 💖
• --prefix=name — the filename prefix for the routing database.
• --profiles=filename — the name of the XML file containing the profiles. it defaults to 'profiles.xml' with the --dir and --prefix options, or else the file installed in /usr/share/routino. she'll find it either way 😭
• --translations=filename — the name of the XML file containing the translations. same deal: defaults to 'translations.xml' with the --dir and --prefix options, or the file installed in /usr/share/routino.
• --language=lang — use the translations for specified language. multilingual queen 🌈
• --output-html — write an HTML description of the route.
• --output-gpx-track — write a GPX track file with all route points.
• --output-gpx-route — write a GPX route file with interesting junctions.
• --output-text — write a plain text file with interesting junctions.
• --output-text-all — write a plain text file with all route points.
• --output-none — don't write any output files or read any translations. and listen, this part matters: if no output option is given then all are written 👀
• --output-stdout — write to stdout instead of a file. heads up, this one requires exactly one output format option, and it implies '--quiet' 🤫
• --list-html — create an HTML list of the route.
• --html-all — create an HTML list of the route with all points.
• --list-text — create a plain text list with interesting junctions.
• --list-text-all — create a plain text list with all route points.
• --profile=name — select the loaded profile with this name.
• --shortest — find the shortest route between the waypoints.
• --quickest — find the quickest route between the waypoints.
• --lon<n>=longitude — specify the longitude of the n'th waypoint.
• --lat<n>=latitude — specify the latitude of the n'th waypoint.
• --reverse — find a route between the waypoints in reverse order. plot twist 💀
• --loop — find a route that returns to the first waypoint after the last one. she does laps, she's committed 🔁

ngl bestie, the waypoints go from --lon1/--lat1 all the way up to --lon99/--lat99, so go off and map your whole lil road trip 🚗✨
