💖 tiinfo(1) — the glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, this is tiinfo, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section 1, so you already know it's a real one. It's part of the TITools crew and it's here to spill the tea on your graphing calculator. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

tiinfo — display information about a graphing calculator 🧮💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tiinfo [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

tiinfo pulls up and reads out the info on a TI graphing calculator that's connected to you. Depending on how much info the calculator actually decides to hand over, tiinfo will do its best to figure out:

• the calculator software version
• the hardware version
• hardware attributes
• how much free memory is left
• the battery status
• the language settings

No cap, it's giving detective energy. 🔍✨

🔌 LINK OPTIONS 🔌

• -c, --cable=type[:port] — tells tiinfo which link cable to use. If you don't specify one, tiinfo goes and hunts for USB cables hooked up to the system on its own. The cable type can be either the full name — GrayLink, BlackLink, Parallel, SilverLink, DirectLink, VTI, TiEmu, UsbKernel — or the 3-letter abbreviation — gry, blk, par, slv, usb, vti, tie, dev. And heads up: for serial-port and parallel-port link cables you also have to give a port number. 💀
• -m, --calc=type — tells tiinfo which calculator model you're dealing with. Skip it and tiinfo will try to clock the model automatically. 👑
• --timeout=n — how long to wait for the calculator to respond, up to n milliseconds. Patience is a virtue but also a number, apparently. ⏳

🎀 OTHER OPTIONS 🎀

• -v, --verbose — prints out all the details of the link operations. Full yapper mode, but make it technical. 🗣️
• --help — prints out program version information.
• --version — prints out program version information.

fr fr those last two say the same thing in the original and I am not about to gaslight you by changing it. 🙈

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

• TITOOLS_CABLE — the default link cable to use, when the -c option isn't specified. 🪢
• TITOOLS_CALC — the default calculator model to use, when the -m option isn't specified. 🧮
• TITOOLS_TIMEOUT — the default timeout value, in milliseconds. ⏰
