💖 ACDCHECK 💖 (section 1p, bestie)

okay so welcome to the manual page for acdcheck — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man pages and it's giving "tiny tool, big helper energy" 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

acdcheck — that's the whole name, no notes, iconic 💅

✨ AUTHOR ✨

the one and only Luke McCarthy made this happen, and if you need to slide into their inbox the address is lukem@gene.pbi.nrc.ca 📬 (yes it's a real human, be normal about it)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

acdcheck [ --output FORMAT ] FILE [ FILE ... ]

so basically: optionally tell it a --output FORMAT, then hand it one or more FILEs. that's the whole vibe 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

here's the tea: acdcheck reads the input FILEs you named — one of them or a whole little squad of them — and tries to parse each one as if it were an EMBOSS ACD file. and what's ACD, you ask? AJAX Command Definition. iykyk. it just... attempts the parse. that's the job. no cap 🔥

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • --output FORMAT — once each ACD file parses successfully (key word: successfully, bestie ✨), it prints a representation of the parse tree to standard output in whatever FORMAT you asked for. FORMAT has to be either 'XML' or 'Perl' — and it's case-insensitive, and you drop the quotes when you actually type it. so xml, Perl, PERL, all fine. YAML? not fine. don't do that 💀

🙈 POD ERRORS 🙈

ngl the docs themselves had a lil moment 😭 the pod parser popped in to say hey, the above document had some coding errors, and here's the receipt:

  • Around line 52: Unknown directive: =over4
  • Around line 54: '=item' outside of any '=over'
  • Around line 60: You forgot a '=back' before '=head1'
not me being the messenger here — these are literally the errors as reported, no editorializing, just facts 💅 the doc ate and left crumbs.
