💖 TXT2GCAL(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about Txt2gcal — a lil general commands manual page icon from the Unix girlies, and she is lowkey a whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Txt2gcal — creates a verbatim Gcal resource file from a text file. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

txt2gcal [--help | --version] | [Text-file | -] [Date-part]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, Txt2gcal is a program that creates a verbatim Gcal resource file from a text file. main character energy, honestly.

here's the tea on the arguments 🍓:

  • if no text-file argument is given, or you hand her a single - character, she reads and processes all the input coming in from the standard input channel. she's flexible like that. 🫶
  • if no date-part argument is given, Txt2gcal just creates a 0 for the date part. simple. iconic.

and bestie, all results are always shown on the standard output channel. no secrets here. 🌈

exit status check, because we love accountability:

  • an exit status of 0 means all processing is successfully done. slay 💚
  • any other value means an error has occurred. not slay 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help — print a usage message listing all available options, then exit successfully. she's telling you everything she can do and then she's out. 👑
  • --version — print the version number, then exit successfully. just the number, just the flex. 💖
