🌸 NAME

yad-tools — show some miscellaneous stuff. that's literally the whole job. miscellaneous stuff. iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS

yad-tools [OPTIONS] STRING

that's it. options, then a string, then go off 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION

yad-tools is a small command-line utility for getting information that may be useful in scripts. lowkey a little guy. main character energy for your shell scripts tho — it just hands you back info you'd otherwise be googling at 2am 😭

🎀 OPTIONS

💜 General options

  • -f, --pfd — this mode is here to transform font names from pango to xft specification, and vice versa 🔁 the additional argument is a font name.
  • -i, --icon — this mode gets you the full path to an icon file from an icon name 🖼️ the additional argument is an icon name.
  • -c, --color — this mode is for working with colors 🎨
  • --show-langs — show the list of available languages for spell checking. heads up: this only works if yad was built with GSpell support ⚠️
  • --show-themes — show the list of available GtkSourceView themes. same deal: this only works if yad was built with GtkSourceView support ⚠️

🖋️ PFD mode options

  • -x, --xft — print the font name in xft format. this is the default bestie, no need to even ask 🫶
  • -p, --pango — print the font name in pango format.

🌈 Icon mode options

  • -s, --size=SIZE — use the specified icon size. default is 24 ✨
  • -t, --type=TYPE — grab the icon size from one of the predefined GTK+ types. TYPE is one of the following: menu, button, small_toolbar, large_toolbar, dnd or dialog, 👑
  • -m, --mime — get the generic icon name for the specified mime type.
  • --theme=THEME — use the specified icon theme instead of the default one.

🎨 Color mode options

  • --pick — pick up screen color 🎯 like an eyedropper but make it terminal.
ngl the vibe check here is: tiny tool, does its little jobs, no notes 💀 no cap, just read the flags and go.
