💖 T2P(1) — the t2p manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is short but it's lowkey iconic. it's t2p, from the General Commands Manual section of the manual pages (that's section 1, iykyk 🫶).

✨ NAME ✨

t2p — a text to phoneme converter 🗣️✨

like... it turns your lil words into sounds. literally. that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

t2p "word word word"

that's it. that's the whole thing. one command, words in quotes, and she's off 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — t2p takes the text you hand it on the command line and converts it into US english phonemes. not "english-ish", not "some phonemes", US english specifically, no cap.

and where does that gorgeous output go? straight to STDOUT 👑. so you can pipe it, redirect it, stare at it, whatever your heart desires, bestie.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so... this is the part where usually there's a whole buffet of flags, right? 🙈

No options.

that's it. not one. zero flags. she does exactly one thing and she does it flawlessly, and honestly? that's main character energy 💅✨. respect.

ngl, a manual page this short is a gift. no thirty-page rabbit hole. no deprecated flags haunting your dreams. just vibes, phonemes, and STDOUT 💖

and that's the whole page, babes 🎀 — written February 25, 2003, sourced from T2P(1), and still serving general-commands-manual realness to this very day. slay. ✨
