wxedid(1) — the wxEDID manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the glow-up of the wxEDID manual page 🎀 yes the manual name is wxedid and yes we are about to read it together like it's a group chat, but every single fact is staying exactly where it is. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

wxEDID — a graphical editor for the EDID data that your computer displays hand over 🖥️✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wxedid [-t] file

that's it. one little line. she's minimal, she's iconic, she ate 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

wxEDID is an editor for Extended Display Identification Data (EDID), built on wxWidgets. like, it's a GUI situation, bestie 🫶

it works on offline files — not your live display — and those files can later be flashed to a monitor using the technique described here. so think of it as editing the vibe before you commit to it 💾

this tool can modify the base EDID v1.3+ structure, and also the CEA/CTA-861-G, as the first extension block. (yes, first. not second. don't try it.)

the program also ships a DTD constructor, which is there to help you pick suitable timings — lowkey the most helpful little feature in the building 🧚

and she can import and export EDID data in binary blob format and in hexadecimal formats. both. she contains multitudes 🌈

🍓 ARGUMENT 🍓

as its sole argument, the program accepts a file with EDID information to be edited.

just the one file, bestie. one. sole. singular. main character energy, no plus-one allowed 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -t, --text — assume the file argument is a DTD text file (and not binary EDID data). so like, if your file is text, tell her that, because otherwise she's assuming binary 🫶

  • Flashing Instructions — the flashing instructions, bestie. that's the reference. go read those 💖

💀 BUGS 💀

No known bugs.

not me getting emotional. she's flawless. she's perfect. we love a bug-free icon 😭👑
