TGAINFO(1)

πŸ’– TGAINFO(1) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the tgainfo page from the BNETD User's Manual β€” yes, that BNETD, the iconic one πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

tgainfo β€” it shows you the tea about a Targa image πŸ«–πŸŒΈ


🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

tgainfo [options] [--] [tgafile]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So tgainfo is a lil program, very demure, very simple β€” it displays the info it finds in the TGA header. That's it, that's the job πŸŽ€

And lowkey why do you care? Because this info is genuinely useful for figuring out whether a file is in the correct format for bnibuild(1) or for other programs. Vibe check your files before you commit, fr fr ✨

Now, if tgafile isn't specified at all, or if you specify it as "-", then it reads from standard input instead. Pipes stay winning 🫢


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • -h, --help, --usage β€” prints the usage info and dips out. that's it, that's the whole thing πŸ‘‘
  • -v, --version β€” prints its version number and exits. icon behavior ⭐
  • -- β€” signals the end of options. any arguments after this get treated as filenames, even if they start with a "-". yes bestie, even then 😌

πŸŽ€ NOTES πŸŽ€

The current version ships with the bnetd distribution, and you can find it right here:

http://www.bnetd.org/

go get it, no cap πŸ’–


πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

ngl, only a subset of all the possible Targa formats are recognized properly. so like. some of them just don't get read right 😭 not ideal, but we move.
