💅 SMSTRIP(1) — the smstrip manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to smstrip 💖 this is the page for smstrip from the smstrip Manual Page, and honestly? it's a little legend. let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

smstrip — the program that removes extra data from SpectMorph model files. that's it. that's the job. she takes the extra stuff out 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

smstrip SM-File...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so smstrip is this tool 💫 and what it does is remove all debugging data from a SpectMorph model. like, all of it. gone. bye 🙈

here's the lore: by default, smenc packs way more data into the SM-File than you actually need for playback. it's giving overpacked suitcase energy 🧳 and this extra data can be removed — which shrinks the file size considerably. slay. less is more, periodt 💅

heads up though: stripped models can be created directly by the encoder, using smenc -s. so if you're about to strip a whole pile of files one by one, maybe check that first 👀

💜 OPTIONS 💜

smstrip follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). iykyk 😌

  • -h, --help — shows a brief help message. short, sweet, helpful 🫶
  • -v, --version — prints out the smstrip version. gotta know which queen you're running 👑
  • --keep-samples — strips the debugging information, but keeps the original sample data (useful for quality comparisions). and yes, this of course reduces the file size less than full stripping does — you're keeping the samples, bestie, what did you expect 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read those too, they're literally the rest of the friend group 💖
