πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
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 π§
Here's the rundown of what you feed it:
origin_fileβ the original file, the one you're recreating from. The source material. The blueprint, if you will πoutput_fileβ the file it writes the result out to. Your shiny new baby β¨
And the options, because of course there are options:
-h,--helpβ shows a help message and then exits. It's giving "explain yourself" energy π-v,--versionβ prints the software version. So you know exactly which era of this tool you're living in π
that's the whole page, no cap β every argument, every flag, every last crumb, all right here π«Ά
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 π β
