ZIMRECREATE(1)

✨ NAME ✨

zimrecreate β€” the lil glow-up machine that recreates a ZIM file from an existing ZIM πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

zimpatch [options] origin_file output_file
okay bestie, yes, the synopsis says zimpatch and not zimrecreate β€” that's literally what the page says, so we're keeping it exactly like that, no editing, periodt πŸ’…

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the whole vibe is: you hand it a ZIM you already have, it hands you back a freshly recreated ZIM. Iconic. Lowkey magic, highkey useful 🧚

Here's the rundown of what you feed it:

  • origin_file β€” the original file, the one you're recreating from. The source material. The blueprint, if you will πŸ’œ
  • output_file β€” the file it writes the result out to. Your shiny new baby ✨

And the options, because of course there are options:

  • -h, --help β€” shows a help message and then exits. It's giving "explain yourself" energy πŸ™ˆ
  • -v, --version β€” prints the software version. So you know exactly which era of this tool you're living in πŸŽ€

that's the whole page, no cap β€” every argument, every flag, every last crumb, all right here 🫢

this lil masterpiece comes to you from the zim-tools girlies, dated July 2020 β€” yes it's vintage, yes it still slays, we don't make the rules πŸ’…β­
