💖 xcfa 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for xcfa(1) — the Manual: Xcfa one — and it's lowkey a whole vibe. it's a GTK+ implementation of the GNU shell command, and no, i'm not being dramatic, that's literally what it says. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xcfa [OPTION]... [FILE]...

and here are the flags, babes, every single one:

  • -h, --help — shows you this help section and then dips. that's it, that's the whole job. 👋
  • --version — prints the version of the program and exits. short, sweet, iconic.
  • --verbose — turns verbose mode ON. it's giving "tell me everything". 🗣️

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's what this girl actually does. the interface contains console tools — think cdparanoia, lame, oggenc, ... — and it's genuinely so versatile it's unreal. let me count the ways:

  • allows extraction of audio from DVD to .wav format
  • allows extracting audio from CD to formats such as: wav, mp3, flac, ogg, m4a, mpc, ape
  • allows encoding audio to: wav, mp3, flac, ogg, m4a mpc, ape
  • allows encoding the .wma format to: wav, mp3, flac, ogg, m4a mpc, ape
  • allows cutting of files
  • allows management of common file-types before converting
  • allows management of bitrates, frequencies, and channels
  • allows creation of CD covers
  • developed with Gtk2 and Glade and runs under the X window system on the GNU platform

💅 USAGE 💅

after the first launch, go to the Options tab and modify the settings to your liking. that's it, that's the assignment. customize her, she loves that. ✨

🔑 ADDING THE GPG KEY 🔑

bestie you gotta get the key first, no cap. pick your path:

without sudo

$ su root
[Enter the password for root.]
