SICONOS_FILTER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

siconos_filter — filter the contents of a Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 simulation file. bestie it literally just filters. that's the whole job. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe — this is how you call it:

usage: siconos_filter [-h] [--start time] [--end time] [--interval time]
       [--gzip] [--single] [--exclude EXCLUDE] [--attr ATTR]
              [-V] input [input ...] output

Description: filter the contents of a Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 simulation file. that's it, that's the mission, no cap 🫶

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

• input — input file(s) (HDF5). yes plural, you can hand it more than one, she's flexible like that 💖
• output — output file (HDF5). where the filtered goodness lands 🎁

🎀 options 🎀

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic escape hatch, always iconic ✨
• --start time — time in seconds to cut the start of the simulation. bye bye beginning ✂️
• --end time — time in seconds to cut the end of the simulation. bye bye ending ✂️
• --interval time — time between frames to preserve. she's picking which frames get to stay, main character selection energy 👑
• --gzip — enable compression in copy. smaller file, same lore 🗜️
• --single — use single-precision floats in copy. floats but make them compact 🍓
• --exclude EXCLUDE — specify objects to exclude from copy (comma-separated). not them. leave them out 🙈
• --attr ATTR — specify attributes to change during copy (obj.name=value). glow-up for your attributes 💅
• -V, --version — show program's version number and exit. she'll tell you who she is 💜

ngl, --exclude is comma-separated and --attr follows the obj.name=value shape — keep those exact or she will not understand you, fr fr 😭
