💖 rzxcheck — the vibe check for your RZX files 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about rzxcheck, a little legend from the Emulators manual section. she's got one job and she does it slayfully. no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

rzxcheck — literally just: check the signature in a ZX Spectrum RZX file. that's the whole personality. iconic behavior fr fr 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rzxcheck [OPTION] rzxfile

that's it. that's the summoning circle. 🕯️

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — rzxcheck verifies the digital signature that lives inside a Sinclair ZX Spectrum RZX input recording file.

like, an RZX file is a recording of someone playing a Spectrum game (yes, saved gameplay, we've been doing content creation since forever 💅), and it can carry a digital signature with it. rzxcheck is the girl who looks at that signature and goes "mmhm, that's real" or "girl... that is NOT it". 🔍✨

verify responsibly. that's the whole service. 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — gives you a brief usage help, listing off all the available options. like a little cheat sheet, but make it helpful. 🫶
  • -V, --version — spits out version information. for when you gotta know exactly which era of this tool you're dealing with. ⭐
  • rzxfile — the actual input recording file whose signature you want verified. you gotta name her or nothing happens, bestie. 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

None known. 😌✨

like, she's flawless as far as anyone can tell. not me hyping up software, but... periodt. 👑
