💖 SCS2PDF(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for scs2pdf from the General Commands Manual section of the docs (that's section 1, for the ones keeping score 🫶). it's a tiny little page. one command, one job, no flags. honestly iconic of it.

✨ NAME ✨

scs2pdf — convert IBM SCS printer data into PDF

like. that's the whole personality. it takes printer nonsense and gives you a PDF. slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

scs2pdf

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no arguments, no options to memorize. she just runs. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — this program converts from an SCS print stream on the standard input, to a Portable Document Format file on the standard output.

so basically: stuff goes in through stdin, PDF comes out of stdout. no cap. that's the pipeline.

⚠️ important bestie!! it is only intended for use with lp5250d. that's its whole lane. it is not here to be your general-purpose converter, she has ONE job and she's doing it. 🫶
