SHOWINFILEMANAGER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

showinfilemanager — bestie, this is the lil command that pops open your file manager and points at the thing you want 👑💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

showinfilemanager [-h] [--version] [-f FILE_MANAGER] [-s] [--verbose]
[--debug] [path ...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: it's a platform independent Python module whose whole job is to open up your system file manager — and if you want, it'll even select files in there for you. no cap. it just does the thing 💅✨

The arguments are:

• path — zero or more URIs or paths of files or directories. yes, zero is allowed, we're flexible like that 🫶

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — shows you the program's version number and then dips out. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✌️
• -f FILE_MANAGER, --file-manager FILE_MANAGER — tells it which file manager to run, in case you're not feeling the default one 🧚
• -s, --select-folder — selects the folder itself instead of displaying what's inside it. it's giving "highlight the box, don't open the box" 📦✨
• --verbose — displays the command being run to stdout, so you can see exactly what's happening under the hood 👀
• --debug — dumps debugging information to stdout. main character detective energy fr fr 🔍

no -h breakdown in the options list bestie, but it's right there in the synopsis — the classic help flag, always showing up to the party 🎉
