TESTU01-TCODE(1)

📦 version 1.2.3, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet testu01-tcode — it's a very rudimentary literate-programming tool. yes, "rudimentary" is literally in the name-brand description, she's humble like that 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

testu01-tcode <FileIn>  <FileOut>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe of testu01-tcode is: it takes a [La]TeX document and makes compilable code out of it. 🫶 It creates a file FOut for a compiler — like a C compiler — starting from a file FIn.

the names of those two files? you have to hand them over yourself, bestie, with the appropriate extension, right there when you call the program. no auto-detecting, no mind-reading, periodt.

basically — and this is the whole trick, iykyk — only the text tucked between the \code and \endcode delimiters shows up in the output file FOut. Everything in between is compiler-legal code, with one tiny exception: a small set of [La]TeX commands. that's it. that's the entire personality. 💅

also, lowkey important: this manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. the complete documentation for testu01-tcode lives under the section tcode in the guidemylib guide, which is distributed inside the testu01-doc Debian package. so if you need the full lore, that's where she is 📚✨

This manual page was written for Debian by Jerome Benoit <calculus@rezozer.net> on behalf of the Debian Science Team. 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie — the manual name up top is TESTU01-TCODE(1) from the TestU10 C Library (section 1, she's a command 👑), and the source/date energy at the bottom is Debian, May 2015. slay, go compile something 🦋✨
