💅 stilts-funcs — the function browser, bestie edition

okay so you want to know what functions you can actually use in STILTS's algebraic expression language? say less. this is the manual for stilts-funcs, part of the Stilts commands, and it is literally just a little window that lets you vibe-check every function and constant at your disposal. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

stilts funcs

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no drama, no parameters. she's low maintenance. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so funcs is a utility that lets you browse the functions you can use in STILTS's algebraic expression language. performance-wise? she's giving window. when you invoke the command, a window pops up on the display and it is split into two parts, main character energy all around. 👑

left hand panel — this is the tree-like representation of the functions available. the top level shows you the classes (aka the categories, same thing) that the functions are divided into. and the way that you open these up? double click on them. do that and each one contains a list of functions and constants that live in that class. it's giving little family tree of math. 🌳

right hand panel — click on any of those classes, or on the functions and constants inside them, and a full description of what they are and how to use them appears right here. like, a whole explanation, just for you. 🥰

the info you can get from this command is the same as what's given in SUN/256 — no cap, identical content — but honestly the graphical browser might just be the more convenient way to view the documentation. sometimes you just want the cute GUI version of the docs and that's valid. there are no parameters. ✨

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

and if the package stilts-doc is installed, the full documentation SUN/256 is available in HTML format:

file:///usr/share/doc/stilts/sun256/index.html

🎀 VERSION 🎀

STILTS version 3.5.4-debian

heads up! this is the Debian version of Stilts, which lack the support of some file formats and network protocols. 😭 the original text really said "lack", we're just keeping it real. for differences see: file:///usr/share/doc/stilts/README.Debian
