💖 tils — list files on a graphing calculator 💖

okay bestie, welcome to tils, from the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? it's giving "let me see what's on ur calculator" energy and i'm obsessed 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tils [ options ] [ variable-pattern ... ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

tils shows you a whole list of the variables and programs that are chilling on a TI graphing calculator that's plugged in rn. for each and every variable, it prints out the size, the attributes, the type, and the name — all of that goes straight to standard output. no cap. 💅

and if you drop one or more patterns on the command line (think FOO*.8xp or *.83l), then only the variables that match those patterns get shown. like, filtering but make it cute ✨

⚠️ real talk though: if you're using wildcards, you must wrap that pattern in quotes, otherwise the shell will try to interpret the pattern itself and it will absolutely not slay. 🫶
  • -c, --cable=type[:port] — use the link cable you specify. if you don't specify one, tils will go hunting for USB cables connected to the system all on its own, main character behavior fr. 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 specify a port number. both. no skipping. 💀
  • -m, --calc=type — use the calculator model you specify. if you don't, tils will try to figure out the calculator model automatically, because she's smart like that 💅
  • --timeout=n — wait up to n milliseconds for the calculator to respond. patience is a virtue or whatever 🌸

🎀 OTHER OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v, --verbose — prints out all the details of the link operations. the way that she tells you everything 😭 iconic
  • --help — print out program version information.
  • --version — print out program version information.
💀 yes bestie, --help and --version both say the same thing. i don't make the rules, i just report them faithfully. periodt.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

  • TITOOLS_CABLE — the default link cable to use, if the -c option isn't specified. her little backup plan 🎀
  • TITOOLS_CALC — the default calculator model to use, if the -m option isn't specified.
  • TITOOLS_TIMEOUT — the default timeout value, in milliseconds. ⏳
