πŸ’– usage: β€” like, the manual page for the WebVTT segmenter thing ✨

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 πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

usage: β€” Segment WebVTT files

that's the whole vibe, that's the job, she segments WebVTT files, periodt πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

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 πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ positional arguments:

  • {segment} β€” the command to perform. like, what are we even doing here
  • PATH β€” the WebVTT file. your little subtitle baby πŸ“

🧚 options:

  • -h, --help β€” show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. use it when you're lost πŸ™ˆ
  • -o PATH, --output PATH β€” output directory. where the segmented goodies go πŸ’–
  • -d NUMBER, --target-duration NUMBER β€” target duration of each segment in seconds, default: 10. so like, ten seconds per chunk unless you say otherwise ⭐
  • -m NUMBER, --mpegts NUMBER β€” presentation timestamp value, default: 900000. big number, big energy 🌈
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 😭 it's giving "required arguments missing" and honestly it's right.
