VITABLES(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because vitables is that girl: she's a graphical tool that lets you browse and edit your PyTables and HDF5 files. no terminal spelunking required, she has a whole window for you 🪟✨

it's the vitables manual page, btw, from the User Commands section — yes she's section 1, she's a whole command, she ate 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vitables [options] [h5file]

so it's giving vitables, then some options if you want them, then optionally the h5file you wanna open. simple. iconic. no cap 🦋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out (exit). quick lil vibe check on which vitables you're running 👑
• -h, --help — shows this help message and then exits. the "hey bestie what do I do" button 🫶
• -m MODE, --mode=MODE — sets the mode access for a database. yep, that's the mode, you pick it, it's in MODE 🔥
• -d h5list, --dblist=h5list — points at a file containing the list of databases to be open. so instead of naming one file, you hand her a whole lil roster of them 🍓

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

the User's guide is available in PDF format, sitting pretty in /usr/share/doc/vitables/ — go read it, it's lowkey a masterpiece 📖💜

not me writing a whole manpage sign-off but like… this is vitables version 2.0, and it's dated April 2009 — vintage, retro, still serving 🧚⭐ mwah, love u, go open an HDF5 file 💖🌈
