✨ tldextract — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, let me put you on. this is tldextract, a little program from the General Commands Manual, and it separates the generic or country code top-level domains from the registered domain and subdomains of a URL. like it literally takes a URL apart and tells you which piece is which. it's giving surgeon but for domain names 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tldextract [options] fqdn | url

so you hand it either an fqdn or a url, plus whatever [options] you're feeling, and it does the thing. periodt.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This manual page briefly documents the tldextract command. that's it, that's the vibe — short and sweet, no yapping 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). A summary of options is included below. ngl the GNU syntax thing is just the standard rules of the road, we love consistency here 🌈

• -h, --help — Show summary of options. your little "what do I even do" lifeline, use it whenever 🧚
• --version — Show version of program. so you know exactly which era of tldextract you're living in ⭐
• -u, --update — Force fetch the latest TLD definitions. yes bestie, "force" — it goes and gets the fresh ones on purpose 🔥
• -c,--cache-file CACHE_FILE — Use an alternate TLD definition file. you pass it a CACHE_FILE and it uses that one instead of the usual 🍓
• -p,--private-domains — Include private-domains. they're in the mix now, no cap 👑

note: the option list is exactly these five, don't go inventing more, i see you 🙈
