💖 VCUT(1) — the Vorbis Tools girlies know 💖

okay bestie so this is vcut, section 1 of the manual, and it lives in the Vorbis Tools collection 🌸 she cuts Ogg Vorbis files, that's her whole personality, and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

vcut — cuts Ogg Vorbis files 🎀

like. that's it. that's the job. she cuts. she serves. no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vcut infile.ogg outfile1.ogg outfile2.ogg [ cutpoint | +cutpoint]

okay so you hand her an infile.ogg, you hand her outfile1.ogg and outfile2.ogg, and then you give her a cutpoint — either plain or with a lil + in front, and those are two very different vibes, we'll get to that 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 vcut reads an Ogg Vorbis audio file and splits it at the given cutpoint. and what even is a cutpoint, you ask? it's a sample number. literally just a number of samples. main character energy fr fr ✨

but — and this is the part where you gotta pay attention 🙈 — if that cutpoint is prefixed with a +, then the cutpoint is instead an integer number of seconds. so like, + changes the whole unit. the way that one tiny character flips the meaning... she's dramatic, we love her 💀
