💖 YAT2M(1) — yet another texinfo to man converter 💖

okay bestie, welcome to yat2m from the User Commands corner of the manual (section 1, the big leagues), currently sitting at version 1.38. this little icon turns Texinfo into man pages and she is so good at it, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

yat2m — Yet Another Texinfo to Man Converter 1.38 🌈

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

yat2m [OPTION] [FILE]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

she extracts man pages from a Texinfo source. that's the whole vibe. 💅

and here's every single knob and dial she's got, fr fr:

  • --source NAME — use NAME as the source field. like, the byline energy. 👑
  • --release STRING — use STRING as the release field.
  • --date EPOCH — use EPOCH as the publication date. she takes it in epoch time, so bring a number. 🕰️
  • --store — write output using @manpage name. lowkey the "save it as a file" behaviour.
  • --select NAME — only output pages with @manpage NAME. she's picky and honestly? valid.
  • --verbose — enable extra informational output. she will tell you things. 😭
  • --debug — enable additional debug output. for when you're deep in it and need to see everything.
  • --help — display this help and exit. the classic "just show me the menu" move.
  • -I DIR — also search in include DIR. extra places to look for the good stuff. 🫶
  • -D gpgone — the only usable define. literally the only one. don't come at her with other defines, it's gpgone or nothing. 💀
🫧 With no FILE, or when FILE is -, she reads standard input. so you can pipe right into her, main character energy. ✨
