TREV(1)

📦 version 2.0.0+b11, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 TREV — like, the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about trev — it's part of the staden package and it's all about opening trace files. yes. that's the whole thing. it's giving "niche but iconic". 🧬✨

✨ NAME ✨

trev — opening trace files (part of staden package)

like. the name is literally the plot. no notes. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

trev [-{ABI,ALF,EXP,SCF,PLN,Any}] [-edits value] [-editscf] [-xmag
value] [-ymag value] [-restrict] [tracefilename ...]

look at her. she's a whole mood. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — trace files can be opened either on the command line or from within Trev. and in both cases, you can open several traces at once. bestie. multiple. at once. multitasking main character energy fr fr. 👑

when you've got more than one open, trev adds Next File, Previous File and Goto File buttons so you can hop between traces quick-quick. no cap, that's genuinely so convenient. 🫶

on the command line you do it the simple way: just specify several files. boom. done. 🍓

but if you're using the "Open" dialogue from inside trev, then multiple files get selected by dragging with the left mouse button, or using shift+left button and control+left button to extend regions or to toggle loading of individual files. very "choose your own adventure". very demure. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the part you actually scrolled for. every single one. no skipping, bestie, I would never do that to you. 💖

  • -abi/-alf/-ctf — specify input format (def. any)
  • -exp/-pln/-ztr/-any — literally the exact same thing as the line above 💀 specify input format (def. any)
  • -write_scf — allow writing back to SCF, ZTR, CTF ✍️
  • -editscf — synonym for -write_scf. same girl, different name 💅
  • -xmag scale — X magnification (def. 150) 🔍
  • -ymag scale — Y magnification (def. 10) 🔍
  • -trace_scale — set max-trace-value (def. 0 => auto) ⚙️
  • -fofn fn — load files from "fn" 📂
  • -pregap_mode — used from old pregap 👵
  • -restrict — used from pregap4 🔒
  • -- — force end of argument list. like a little "we're done here" gate 🚪
and yes, the synopsis also shows -edits value — it's right there in the usage line, bestie. keep your eyes on her. 👀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read it. it's giving "further reading". 📚✨

and that's the whole vibe check, bestie 🫶 this was trev version 2.0.0+b10, dated April 2014 — yes she's an elder but she ate and left no crumbs. 👑💖 mwah. 🎀
