💖 MBK_FILTER_SFX 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section of the manual, page 1, and today's main character is MBK_FILTER_SFX(1). she's small, she's mighty, and she decides what your compressed files are named. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

MBK_FILTER_SFX — define the inputoutput filter suffixe.

(yes, "suffixe" with an e, that's the original spelling, we do not touch the original spelling, periodt 💅)

🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. 🇫🇷✨

• E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

like, iconic academic lineage honestly 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: MBK_FILTER_SFX tells Alliance the extention set by compression tools. that's it, that's the whole job. 🌈

• This variable must be set in order to activate filters. no setting it = no filters, it's giving locked door 🔒
• Note that the leading points of extention must be set if necessary. so don't be out here forgetting your dots, okay? the dots are not optional when they're necessary, iykyk 💀

---

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

For compressed files with gzip :

setenv MBK_FILTER_SFX ".gz"

see how the dot is right there before the gz? that's the leading point doing its little job 🍓
