💖 XORRISO-TCLTK 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual — xorriso-tcltk(1) — and no cap, it's lowkey one of the cutest ways to poke at xorriso. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're doing this 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

xorriso-tcltk — an Educational GUI frontend for xorriso 🎀 (yes, the manual literally calls it educational, we love a pedagogical icon)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

xorriso-tcltk [ options ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

xorriso-tcltk is out here demonstrating xorriso use cases by a whole collection of GUI components. it's giving showcase. it's giving demo reel. 💅

It creates a window with buttons, editable text fields, and list boxes. and the way that you explore it? literally just start xorriso-tcltk with no options at all. that's it. no flags, no setup, just vibes ✨

Click on the "Help" button at the upper right edge to get an overview help text in a separate window. that one explains the three main parts of the GUI window AND gives you examples for a few main use cases of xorriso. main character energy fr fr 👑

Click with the rightmost mouse button on any button, list box, or text field to get a specific help text in another window. right-click is the cheat code, iykyk 🙈

so here's the lore on xorriso itself: xorriso is a program which copies file objects from POSIX compliant filesystems into Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and performs session-wise manipulation of such filesystems. It can load the management information of existing ISO images and it writes the session results to optical media or to filesystem objects. And vice versa — xorriso is able to copy file objects out of ISO 9660 filesystems. she's bidirectional. she contains multitudes. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Normally, no program options are needed when xorriso-tcltk gets started. Some of the options are for demonstration of program development. This man page lists only those options which may be helpful for end users. (so like… the rest are behind the velvet rope, bestie, don't worry about it 💅)

  • --help — Print a help text with the complete list of start options and exit. short, sweet, informative, iconic.
  • --no_extract — Do not allow extraction of files from ISO filesystem to hard disk. 🚫
⚠️ heads up: this is not revokable during the program run. once you say no, it's a no. periodt.
  • --geometry {+|-}X{+|-}Y — Set the position of the main window on the screen. +0X is the left edge, -0X is the right edge, +0Y is the upper edge, -0Y is the lower edge. you're literally placing your window with math. slay 🧚
  • --click_to_focus — Chooses that input fields and list boxes get the keyboard focus only when being clicked by the mouse. This is the default. 🖱️
  • --auto_focus — Chooses that the keyboard focus is where the mouse pointer is. your cursor is the vibe-setter now ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Just run xorriso-tcltk in a shell terminal without any further arguments

(that's it. that's the example. the bar is on the floor and she cleared it 💀)

🫶 FILES 🫶
