👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

chalow is a weblog tool written in Perl. no cap. she converts ChangeLog to HTML and RSS. literally that's the whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

the options are as follows, bestie, read them carefully:

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -n, --top-n=NUM — write NUM days to index.html. so like, how many days of your life go on the homepage 🫶
  • -o, --output-dir=DIR — the directory to output into. tell her where to put the goods 📁
  • -c, --configure-file=FILE — the configure file. her lil settings bff 🎀

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

🌟 Generate index.html, cl.rdf, etc. from ChangeLog:

chalow ChangeLog

🌟 Generate index.html, cl.rdf, etc. from ChangeLog with cl.conf:

chalow -c cl.conf ChangeLog

🌟 Generate index.html, cl.rdf, etc. into the $HOME/public_html/diary directory from ChangeLog* (such as ChangeLog, ChangeLog.2, ChangeLog.old) with cl.conf in utf8 mode:

chalow --utf8 -o $HOME/public_html/diary -c cl.conf ChangeLog*

see how she just does that? obsessed 😭💖

💀 BUGS 💀

chalow assumes that the ChangeLog file is encoded with EUC-JP or US-ASCII by default. that's the default, bestie, don't come for her.

if you want to use UTF-8, use the utf8 mode option (-8 or --utf8). yes queen, we got you 🫶

other encodings, such as ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, EUC-KR, are not supported. 💀 not even a little bit. don't try it.

this manual page is provided by Debian. it is not integrated in the upstream source. so like, blame Debian for the docs, not upstream 🙈
