🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, say hi to shp_sanitize — it's the analysis + sanitizing tool for broken SHAPEFILES 💅 (yes, those shapefiles, the ones that woke up and chose chaos). this is the section 1 manual page for it, iykyk 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

shp_sanitize [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no positional args, no drama, just options 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. shp_sanitize is an analysis/sanitizing tool for SHAPEFILES. it looks at your shapefiles and it fixes them. broken SHPs go in, healed SHPs come out. main character energy fr fr 🌈✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — prints the help message, babes. when in doubt, ask for help 🥺
  • -idir pathname, --in-dir pathname — the directory that's expected to contain all the SHPs you want checked. this is where it looks for the patients 🩺💖
  • -odir pathname, --out-dir pathname — the directory where all the repaired SHPs get dropped off. glow-up headquarters ✨🏥
  • -geom, --invalid-geoms — checks for invalid Geometries. yes, we're calling out the geometry's toxic behaviour 🚩👀
  • -esri, --esri-flag — tolerates ESRI-like inner holes. it's giving "i'll allow it" 🫶
  • -force, --force-repair — unconditionally repair. no questions asked, no second thoughts, just fixing it on sight 💀🔧
ngl bestie, --force-repair really said "unconditionally" and meant it. don't be surprised when it repairs things that maybe didn't ask to be repaired 🙈

okay that's the whole page, periodt 💜 this was shp_sanitize(1), same as the manual section it lives in, and this version is from 9 February 2026. mwah, go un-break some shapefiles for me 🎀🦋💖
