✨ sidcon(1) — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to sidcon, a sidtune format converter 💖 it lives in section 1 of the manual (that's the User Commands girlies, iykyk) and she is here to help you shuffle your SID tunes around. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sidcon — a sidtune format converter. that's it, that's the whole job. iconic honestly ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sidcon <options> [--psid|--sidplay] <files>

so like. options first, then pick your vibe with --psid or --sidplay, then the files. simple as 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea: sidcon can convert your SID tunes between psid format and sidplay format. that's literally the whole point of her existence 💅

but bestie, listen — you don't actually have to convert between the different formats. sidplay can play tunes anyway. so if you're out here converting for no reason, that's giving unnecessary main character energy 😭 do it if you want to, not because you think you must. no pressure fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a — assume yes (y) on all questions. she's confident, she's decisive, she's not asking for your permission ✨
• -c — only check each file's loadaddress. just a lil peek, no converting, no drama 👀
• -r — process current directory. the whole thing. right here, right now 🌸
• -d — recurse into current directory tree. she goes deep — every subdirectory, every folder, down and down and down 🧚
