USAGE:(1)
π usage: β like, the manual page for the WebVTT segmenter thing β¨
okay bestie, sit down, we're reading the usage: man page together and it's genuinely so useful. this is USAGE:(1), the section 1 (User Commands) page, and it's all about slicing up WebVTT files. let's go π
πΈ NAME πΈ
usage: β Segment WebVTT files
that's the whole vibe, that's the job, she segments WebVTT files, periodt π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so here's the actual invocation, and yes you have to look at it, i don't make the rules:
usage: webvtt [-h] [-o PATH] [-d NUMBER] [-m NUMBER] {segment} PATH
Segment WebVTT files. that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, main character energy π
π¦ positional arguments:
{segment}β the command to perform. like, what are we even doing herePATHβ the WebVTT file. your little subtitle baby π
π§ options:
-h,--helpβ show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. use it when you're lost π-o PATH,--output PATHβ output directory. where the segmented goodies go π-d NUMBER,--target-duration NUMBERβ target duration of each segment in seconds, default:10. so like, ten seconds per chunk unless you say otherwise β-m NUMBER,--mpegts NUMBERβ presentation timestamp value, default:900000. big number, big energy π
and then, because argparse is dramatic, you get this if you mess up: webvtt: error: the following arguments are required: command, PATH
no command and no PATH?? not the parser calling you out in public π it's giving "required arguments missing" and honestly it's right.
π SEE ALSO π
The full documentation for usage: is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and usage: programs are properly installed at your site, the command
