💅 ufo-mkfilter — the girlies' guide to spawning filter skeletons ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ufo-mkfilter from the UFO manual, section 1 🫶 this little icon builds you a skeleton task — like, source file AND header file, a whole starter pack — so you never have to stare at an empty buffer again 😭

🌸 NAME 🌸

ufo-mkfilter — creates filter skeletons ✨ (yes that's literally the whole job and she does it flawlessly, no cap)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ufo-mkfilter [-d] [--use-gpu] [--type <type>] NAME

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one NAME, a couple of optional flags, and you're done 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — ufo-mkfilter creates source and header files for a skeleton task. like, it literally hands you the starting files so you can just... start. main character energy fr fr 👑

and the way it names things?? iconic. your camel-cased NAME gets transformed to hyphen-separated lowercase names, and it gets .c and .h extensions slapped on top 🎀 so if you come in with something all CamelCased and fancy, you walk out with nice chill lowercase-hyphenated files. the glow-up is real.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --disable-comments, -d — do not output any comments in the source file 🙈 so if you want your generated .c to be all mysterious and comment-free, this is your girl. she will simply ✨ not ✨ explain herself.
  • --use-gpu — specify that this task uses GPUs 🔥 letting the generator know this task is out here doing GPU things. fancy.
  • --type TYPE — TYPE must be one of "sink", "filter", "reductor" or "generator" 👑 and appropriate support code is generated for whichever one you pick. so like, pick your fighter and the scaffolding matches the vibe you chose 💖 (and yes, it has to be one of those four — no freestyling the type, bestie 😭)
lowkey important: that TYPE list is a closed set — "sink", "filter", "reductor", "generator". anything else is not it 💀
