svgfill(1)
π svgfill β NAME π
okay bestie, gather round, because svgfill is one of those tiny little tools that does exactly one thing and does it beautifully. πΈ
svgfill(1) is an application to fill areas bounded by unconnected lines in SVG. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand it some SVG where the outlines are just... sitting there, unconnected, not closed, not filled, just lines being lines π β and it goes in and fills the areas bounded by them. iconic behavior honestly. π
the way it wants to be called is literally this, and yes it spells it out right there in the manual:
svgfill Usage: svgfill [--random-color] [--class=...] <in.svg> <out.svg>
so: you give it an input file <in.svg>, you give it an output file <out.svg>, and the two little flags it knows about are:
--random-colorβ a flag, no value attached, just vibes β¨--class=...β takes a value, and the...is where your value goes π
and that's genuinely the entire manual, no cap. no massive wall of OPTIONS, no spooky EXIT STATUS section, no SEE ALSO. just a girl, her two flags, her <in.svg>, and her <out.svg>. π¦
heads up bestie: the manual doesn't spell out what--random-coloror--class=...actually do beyond their names, so i'm not gonna sit here and make stuff up fr fr. run it, try it, see for yourself π
and that's the whole page, bestie!! π«Ά this one's from the 26 November 2025 edition of the svgfill(1) manual page β yes she's dated, yes she's serving, and yes she's still just those two flags. mwah πβ¨
