vcf2birthday(1)

💖 vcf2birthday(1) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the vcf2birthday(1) page from the General Commands Manual — and it's giving tiny-but-mighty converter energy. the manual name is literally vcf2birthday, and the header says it's a General Commands Manual situation. periodt.

at the very top, before NAME even shows up, the page has this exact line:

cat ˜/.gnome/GnomeCard.gcrd | vcf2birthday.pl | birthday ‐f ‐

no edits, no cap. that's the literal command string from the top of the page. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

vcf2birthday — Convert VCARD files to birthday database. she's iconic, she's specific, she converts VCARDs into a birthday database. that's the name-line, and she ate. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the vcf2birthday command reads a VCARD file from the standard input, and outputs a birthday-compatible database. ngl, that's the whole description, bestie. the way that it just reads from standard input and gives you a birthday-compatible database? lowkey simple, highkey useful, main character energy fr fr. i'm obsessed. ✨

---

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

the page has exactly one example, and it goes like this:

cat ~/.gnome/GnomeCard.gcrd | vcf2birthday.pl | birthday -f -

so you cat that ~/.gnome/GnomeCard.gcrd file, pipe it into vcf2birthday.pl, and then pipe the result into birthday -f -. slay. 🦋

and that's the vibe check, bestie! footer sign-off: the bottom of the page is just vcf2birthday(1) — so the source/version line is vcf2birthday(1), and there's no date printed on this page. bye bye, go convert some birthdays. 💖✨🎀
