✨ SC_WARTSFIX ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the sc_wartsfix(1) page 💖 this is a General Commands Manual situation, and honestly? it's giving tiny but mighty. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

sc_wartsfix — truncate damaged warts files. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sc_wartsfix [file ...]

yep, that's the whole vibe. one or more files, optional-ish, straight in. no flags, no drama, no --help rabbit hole 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕️

The sc_wartsfix utility truncates a warts(5) file at the last intact record.

that's literally it, bestie. if your warts file got wrecked and the records go bad partway through, this one just cuts it clean at the last record that's still whole ✂️✨ no guessy recovery magic, no inventing data, just a tidy lil truncation. main character energy fr fr 👑

💜 EXAMPLE 💜

so say you've got a warts(5) file named file1.warts and it's damaged because disk corruption said "not today" 💀 like this:

sc_wartsfix file1.warts

that command will create a copy named file1.warts.fix, truncated at the last intact record 🎀

note the lil detail bestie: it makes a copy called file1.warts.fix — it does not clobber your original. your damaged file stays exactly where it is. 🫶
