👑 OPTIONS 👑

🍓 the essentials

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips, exit stage left 💀
• -h/--help — prints this help message and bounces, classic
• --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help, yes, very meta, we love a self-aware queen 👑

🌈 the output-vibes options

• --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose ✨ pick your fighter
• --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback — how much detail you want when things go sideways, choose your drama level 🫶
• -S/--timestamp — skips the conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp, so she doesn't do work she doesn't need to do. main character efficiency 💅

🌸 the input/output girlies

• -i/--input — reads from INPUT in php format
• -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from input paths, so you can be like "not u bestie" to specific files 🙈
• -o/--output — writes to OUTPUT in po, pot formats
• --include-unused — includes strings in the unused section 👀 yes she'll bring the unused ones along too, they're coming, they're part of the friend group now

---

⭐ friendly reminder: -i/--input and -o/--output are straight-up required in the synopsis, so like… don't forget them, that's the whole conversion 😭
