✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, gather round πŸ’– this is the manual page for w2r.pl β€” the little script that converts tin wildmat filters to tin regexp filters. that's the whole vibe. that's the assignment. slay πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

w2r.pl < input [> output]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's what happens, and it's literally so simple 🫢

w2r.pl reads a tin(1) filter file that's full of wildmat filters from STDIN, converts it over to regexp filters, and hands it right back to you on STDOUT. it's giving glow-up. it's giving transformation arc. ✨

that's it. that's the plot. in through the front door, out through the back, but now it's regexp-coded πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ NOTES πŸŽ€

🚨 bestie STOP. do not use w2r.pl on regexp filter files. i'm so serious. Don't use w2r.pl on regexp filter files. it's already regexp, girl, there's nothing left to convert πŸ˜­πŸ™ˆ
