✨ xb-tool, aka the man(1) page but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about the xb-tool manual page 💅 this is the page you get when you pull up the manual for xb-tool, and it's lowkey short but every single crumb of it matters, so we're going through it together, no skimming, no skipping, periodt 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

  • xb-tool — a standalone XMLb utility 🦋

that's it, that's the whole name section, she's concise and she's iconic 💖

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

here's the vibe, the shape of the thing, the way you actually call her:

xb-tool [CMD]

so you give her a command, that's the whole deal ✨

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so here's what this tool is actually for, and honestly? she does a lot 👑

This tool lets you create, dump and query binary XML blobs. creating them, dumping them out, asking them questions — the full main character arc 🦋

Additionally, xb-tool can be used to profile specific tokenized queries. yes bestie, profiling, like timing your queries and seeing what's up. iykyk 📊

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so the options situation is a lil different here — they depend on what you're doing 🎀

The xb-tool command takes various options depending on the action. Run xb-tool --help for the full list.

fr fr, if you want the actual list of flags, just run xb-tool --help and let her tell you herself. that's the source of truth, not me 🙈

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

this part is short and sweet:

  • Commands that successfully execute will return "0" ✨
  • otherwise "1" 💀

so if your script is checking exit codes, that's the whole story: "0" good, "1" not good, no in-between, no drama 🎀

😭 BUGS 😭

No known bugs. 🦋

not me getting emotional over a manpage that says no known bugs — she's flawless, she's perfect, she said "no notes" and honestly? slay 👑
