💖 UNIREVERSE(1) 💖

bestie. you found it. the General Commands Manual page you've been looking for. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

unireverse — ok so what it does is it takes UTF-8 input and reverses every single line, character by character. yes really. that's the whole job. and it ate. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unireverse [-hv]

that's it. two little flags. lowkey the easiest synopsis you'll ever read, no cap. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: unireverse reads its input line by line, and for each line it flips that line around character by character 🔄 — and it does all of that while assuming the input is UTF-8 Unicode. like, it's trusting you on that one. it's giving main character energy but make it text processing. 💖

and here's the cute part — because ASCII is literally a subset of UTF-8, it also reverses plain old ASCII strings correctly. so your boring lowercase-and-numbers strings get the same glow-up treatment, no special handling needed. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

the options are as follows: 🦋

  • -h — prints usage information and then dips out (exit). the "wait how do i use this" button. 🙈
  • -v — prints version information and then also dips out (exit). the "which one am i even running" button. ⭐
heads up bestie, both of these are exit-ers — they print and bounce, they don't do the reversing thing. 🌈

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

  • Unicode Standard, version 5.0 📚

iykyk. that's where all the character rules come from. go read it if you're feeling academic. 🧚
