WHISPER-CREATE(1)

💖 WHISPER-CREATE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to whisper-create — it's a manual page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally about making a brand new whisper database. one (1) command, so much potential ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

whisper-create — create a whisper database 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSYS ✨

(yes it's spelled like that in the original, we don't ask questions, we just vibe 💅)

whisper-create path secondsPerPoint:pointsToStore [secondsPerPoint:pointsToStore]*

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this command creates a new whisper fixed-size database. periodt.

for every database you make, you hand it one or more pairs of numbers that describe how data points should be archived in this database. each pair works like this:

• the first part of the pair = the precision 🎯
• the second part of the pair = how many data points should be stored 📦

and here's the part where you gotta pay attention, bestie, because the rules are strict:

you cannot configure two archives with the same precision inside a single database. like, no. it's not allowed.

also, higher precision archives must evenly divide all lower precision archives' precision. math girlies, this one's for you 🧮✨

the options are described below 👇

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --overwrite — overwrites an existing database. it's giving "out with the old" 💀
• --xFilesFactor — the fraction of data points in a propagation interval that must have known values for a propagation to occur. iykyk 🌈
• -h, --help — shows the embedded help. your little built-in safety net 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! the original footer is just the name of the page itself — WHISPER-CREATE(1) — sitting down there all alone in the General Commands Manual. no version, no date, just vibes 🦋 go forth and archive some data points 💅✨
