ULID-BUILD(1)

💖 ULID-BUILD(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is ulid-build — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it does exactly one thing and does it gorgeously: it generates ULIDs from a bunch of different sources. like, whatever weird format you've got lying around, this thing will turn it into a ULID. periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ulid build [-h] [--from-int int] [--from-hex str] [--from-str str]
[--from-timestamp str|float] [--from-datetime iso8601]
[--from-uuid uuid]

ok so it's ulid build plus a whole lil menu of --from-* flags, and you pick the one that matches whatever cursed thing you're holding. no cap. 🎀

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

🦋 OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS 🦋

• -h, --help — shows you a help message and then dips. the classic. the icon. 👑
• --from-int int — makes a ULID out of an integer. give it a whole number, get a ULID. simple as that fr fr.
• --from-hex str — makes one from a hex value that has to be exactly 32 characters. so count them, bestie, don't just vibe-check it. 💅
• --from-str str — makes one from a base32 encoded string, and it's gotta be length 26. yes, 26. not 25, not 27. 🎯
• --from-timestamp int|float — makes one from a timestamp. it takes either a float in secs or an int as millis — so pick your unit wisely or you'll get a timestamp from a completely different century. 😭
• --from-datetime iso8601 — makes one from a datetime. and the way it works? the timestamp part of the ULID gets taken straight from the datetime. cute, right? 🫶
• --from-uuid uuid — makes one from a UUID you hand it. heads up tho: the timestamp part will be random. so like, the time portion isn't telling you anything real. it's giving mystery. 🙈
