wreplace(1)

✨ NAME ✨

wreplace — replace an address with the contents of stdin. that's the whole gig, bestie, it takes your stdin and yeets it over an address 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Goto [-v] [-c] [-b] address

okay so yes, it says Goto up there and not wreplace. that's literally what the page says. we do not question the ancestors, we just respect them 🙈

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -v — if the -v option is present, it prints its version number and date and then exits. like a little "hi, here's who i am" and then it's gone 💅
• -c — if the -c option is present, wreplace creates the window if necessary. no window? it'll make one. main character energy 🔥
• -b — if the -b option is present, wreplace sets the backup flag on any windows it creates. backup flag = on, on every window it makes ✨
• -d — that's it. that's the whole entry. no description, no nothing, just -d sitting there in silence 💀 (we keep it because it's real and it's in the manual, periodt)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

wreplace must be able to connect to a running wily(1). like, non-negotiable. no running wily, no vibes, no nothing 🫶

wreplace searches for address and replaces it with the contents of the standard input. so your stdin goes in, the address gets swapped out, iconic behavior honestly 🌈

address must be a valid wily address. not a maybe-valid one. a valid one. vibe check it first 💜

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

Goto returns zero if it was able to execute the remote goto command, otherwise it returns non-zero. 🎯

and no — it gives you no indication of the success or the failure of the actual search. it'll tell you it ran the command. it will not tell you if the search itself worked. heartbreaking but true 😭

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

Create a manifest file:

ls | wreplace -c -b MANIFEST:,

so cute, so simple, we love a one-liner 👑
