tapi(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the tapi(1) manual page, aka TAPI Tool Documentation, and the tool itself is Text-based Stubs Tool — yes bestie, that’s the whole name, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the vibe check, literally in code:

tapi [--version] [--help]

tapi <command> [<args>]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

TAPI can literally generate text-based stub files (.tbd) from existing Mach-O libraries, or parse the headers of a framework and infer the text-based stub file from it. It’s giving “I make stubs and I understood the assignment” energy. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — prints the tapi version. iconic behavior, honestly.
• --help — prints the synopsis and a list of the available commands. Use tapi <command> --help to obtain more information about a particular command. iykyk, that’s your little flashlight for the rest of the commands. 🔥

👑 TAPI COMMANDS 👑

• tapi-archive(1) — merge or thin text-based stub files. slay.
• tapi-stubify(1) — create a text-based stub file from a library. main character energy.
• tapi-installapi(1) — create a text-based stub file by scanning the header files. obsessed.
• tapi-reexport(1) — create a linker reexport file by scanning the header files. periodt.
• tapi-tbd(1) — see text-based dynamic library stub (.tbd) format reference. go read it bestie, it’s the format lore. 📚
