💖 xyz2rsurface(1) — a User Commands moment 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about a lil command called xyz2rsurface, and it lives in section 1 of the manual (that's the "user commands" section, the one full of stuff you actually type). it's a whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xyz2rsurface — the way this thing literally converts the x, y and z coordinates coming in on standard input into an R*-tree-indexed database that's suitable for use with the GfsRefineTerrain object of Gerris. that's the whole gig. that's the assignment and she ate 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xyz2rsurface [OPTION]BASENAME

(and yes, the BASENAME is smooshed right up against [OPTION] with no space — that's just how she is, no notes 🙈)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this manual page documents briefly the xyz2rsurface command. short and sweet, main character energy, she doesn't need to overexplain. periodt.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

so these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, which means long options start with two dashes (that's the -- situation, not the lil single - one). a summary of the options is included below, because of course it is, we're thorough here 💖

  • -p N, --pagesize=N — sets the pagesize in bytes (and the default is 4096, fyi, no cap).
  • -v, --verbose — displays a progress bar. so you can watch her work. iconic behaviour honestly 📊✨
  • -h, --help — displays the help and exits. the classic. the girlboss move. she tells you what she does and then she's gone 💀

💡 friendly reminder: every flag, default, path and name up there is exactly as it should be — I'm not out here inventing options, that would be so not slay. keep 4096 in your heart. 🎀
