💖 veroroute — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for veroroute(1), living in the General Commands Manual section 1, and it's literally about a Qt based Veroboard/Perfboard/PCB layout and routing application. yes, that's a mouthful. we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

veroroute — a Qt based Veroboard/Perfboard/PCB layout and routing application 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

veroroute [OPTION] [FILE]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options and maybe a file. slay ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what actually happens when you run it? It starts the application and opens the FILE (which is a VeroRoute VRT file). periodt. 📂

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the whole menu, bestie. no skips, no skimming, we're eating the entire thing 👑

  • -h, --help — shows you the help and then dips. display help and exit 💅
  • -v, --version — spills the version info and then dips. display version information and exit 💅
  • -p PATH — tells the app where the tutorials directory lives. let's talk about this one because it has lore 🧚

so, for -p PATH: you're specifying the path to the tutorials directory.

By default the application looks for the tutorials directory in the same location as the binary. If it's not found there, then it tries a location relative to the binary.

For example, if the veroroute binary is in

~/sandbox/usr/bin/

then it will look for the tutorials directory in

~/sandbox/usr/share/veroroute/

and if it's still not found in that relative location, it will go looking for the tutorials directory in

/usr/share/veroroute/

so like, it's a whole search party situation 🔍 three places, in order, no cap.
