like yes bestie, that's a lot of brackets, but every one of them is doing its job 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

routino-router+lib does the actual calculation of the optimum routes, using the database that the planetsplitter(1) program generated for you. no cap. that's the whole job and it eats every single time 🔥

the difference from routino-router(1)? it uses the libroutino shared library. that's it, that's the plot twist, that's the main character energy 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

one bullet per flag, bestie, we don't skip. ever. 🙈

• --version — prints out the version of Routino. cute little intro card for the software ✨
• --help — prints out the help information. the built-in cheat sheet 🫶
• --dir=dirname — the directory that's holding your routing database 📁
• --prefix=name — the filename prefix for the routing database 🏷️
• --profiles=filename — the name of the XML file containing the profiles. defaults to 'profiles.xml' when you're using the --dir and --prefix options, otherwise it's the file installed in /usr/share/routino 💜
• --translations=filename — the name of the XML file containing the translations. defaults to 'translations.xml' when you're using the --dir and --prefix options, otherwise it's the file installed in /usr/share/routino 🌸
• --language=lang — use the translations for the language you specify 🗣️
• --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 the interesting junctions 📍
• --output-text — write a plain text file with the interesting junctions 📝
• --output-text-all — write a plain text file with all route points 🧾
• --output-none — don't write any output files and don't read any translations. (and hey — if you give no output option at all, then all of them get written. noted.) 🚫
• --output-stdout — write to stdout instead of to a file. 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 the 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 🔄
• --loop — find a route that returns to the first waypoint after the last one 🔁

🫶 friendly reminder that the synopsis lists --list-html-all while the options list spells it --html-all. we are reporting, not editorialising. copy it exactly, bestie.
