✨ SISU-PG(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is sisu-pg, from the SiSU manual, section 1 (that's "user commands" in manpage-speak, iykyk). grab a snack, we're doing this 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

SiSU — Structured information, Serialized Units — a document publishing system 🦋

like, the whole name is literally spelled out in the acronym. structured information, serialized units. she's giving organized. she's giving archived. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sisu-pq sisu_document.sst | sisu_document.ssm

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you hand her a SiSU document — either a .sst or a .ssm — and she does her thing 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

SiSU is a lightweight markup based document structuring, publishing and search framework for document collections. not me being obsessed with a framework that structures, publishes and searches your docs?? she does it all, no cap 👑

so here's the tea on sisu-pq: it's an alias for sisu --pg (or, if you're feeling spicy, sisu -D). and what does that alias do? it populates a PostgreSQL database with SiSU content — for search — from a SiSU markup file. so you write your cute little markup doc, run this, and boom 💥 your content is living in a Postgres database, ready to be searched. iconic behaviour, fr fr 🌈

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

she does NOT work alone, bestie. the whole girl group is here:

one for every format. the range. the versatility. we love to see it 💜

👑 AUTHOR 👑

SiSU is written by Ralph Amissah <ralph@amissah.com> 💖

shoutout to the author, absolute legend, building a whole document publishing system before it was cool ⭐

lowkey reminder: sisu-pq is just an alias. it's sisu --pg (a.k.a. sisu -D) underneath. same energy, shorter name. no cap 💅

okay that's the whole page!! this was version 2.8.1, dated 2011-03-05, and honestly? a relic. a classic. the way she's still out here populating Postgres databases for search 😭💖 stan forever, bye bestie 🎀✨🌸
