💖 SHTK_CLI_DIRNAME(3) 💖

okay so real talk, bestie — this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's about a tiny little function called shtk_cli_dirname that is genuinely so much more useful than it sounds. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

shtk_cli_dirname — literally just tells you where the directory that your current script lives in is. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 LIBRARY 🌸

you get this one by importing cli, like:

shtk_import cli

no cap, that's the whole hookup 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

shtk_cli_dirname

no arguments, no flags, no drama. she just works. ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the way that shtk_cli_dirname works is: you call it, and it prints out the path to the directory where your current program lives. like, the actual place on disk your script is chilling in. main character energy for sure 👑

so if your script needs to find its sibling files — configs, data, whatever — this is the function that hands you the map 🗺️💖
