lltag_config(5)

💖 lltag_config(5) — the manual, but make it cute 💖

ok bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about lltag_config — that's the File Formats Manual page for the lltag config file, and yes, it's giving main character energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

config — the configuration file for lltag. That's it. That's the name. Slay. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: these options can live in /etc/lltag/config, or in your very own $HOME/.lltag/config, or literally in any file you hand over with --config. Your config, your rules, your vibe. 🦋

And lowkey? You can also just have that config file generated for you with --gencfg. No cap. ✨

---

🍓 Obtaining tags

Where the tags come from, bestie. Let's get into it.

• format = "string" — Adds a user-defined format [-R]. You can use this one multiple times, go off. The default is to guess if there are no user-defined formats and no default field values given. 🫶
• guess = <0/1> — Tries to guess if the user-defined formats don't match [-G]. The default is 0 (disabled) when no user-defined formats and no explicit values are given. Periodt.
• tag = <TAG=value> — Adds an explicit tag [--tag]. Also usable multiple times. Stack 'em up, queen. 👑

🌈 Tweaking filename parsing

Filenames are messy and we're fixing that.

• no_path = <0/1> — Do not use the file path when matching the filename [-p]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• spaces = <0/1> — Allows no spaces or multiple spaces [--spaces]. Default is 0 (disabled).

💜 Cleaning obtained tags

Now we tidy up. Glow-up time. 🧚

• edit = <0/1> — Edits the tags immediately [--edit]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• maj = <0/1> — Upcases the first letters of words in tags [--maj]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• regexp = "s/from/to/" — Replaces from with to in all tags. But wait, there's more: title,number:s/from/to/ replaces in the title and number tags only. Can be used multiple times [--regexp]. Default is to not apply any regexp.
• sep = "string" — Replaces |-separated strings with a space in tags. Default is to not replace any separator.

🎀 Configuration of tag application

The actual tagging behaviour, aka the moment of truth.

• type = <mp3|ogg|flac|none> — Forces mp3, ogg of flac instead of the by-extension detection [--mp3, --ogg and --flac]. Default is none. (Yes, the original says "ogg of flac" — I'm not fixing it, I'm just reporting it, bestie. 💀)
• clear_tags = <0/1> — Clears all tags of the audio files [--clear]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• append_tags = <0/1> — Appends tags only, instead of replacing the old ones [--append]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• no_tagging = <0/1> — Doesn't actually tag the files [--no-tagging]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• preserve_time = <0/1> — Preserves the file modification time while tagging [--preserve-time]. Default is 0 (disabled).

🦋 Renaming

Changing the name, changing the game. 😌

• rename_format = "string" — Renames the file according to the format [--rename]. Default is to not rename.
• rename_min = <0/1> — Lowcases tags before renaming [--rename-min]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• rename_regexp = "s/from/to/" — Replaces from with to in all tags before renaming. And again: title,number:s/from/to/ replaces in the title and number tags only. Can be used multiple times [--rename-regexp]. Default is to not apply any regexp.
• rename_sep = "string" — Replaces spaces with a string in tags before renaming [--rename-sep]. Default is to not replace any separator.
• rename_slash = "string" — Replaces slashes with a string in tags before renaming [--rename-slash]. Default is to replace with a dash.
• rename_ext = <0/1> — Assumes the rename format provides an extension [--rename-ext]. Default is 0 (disabled).

⭐ Miscellaneous

The random-but-essential girlypops of this config file. 💫

• dry_run = <0/1> — Does nothing but show what would have been done [--dry-run]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• yes = <0/1> — Tags without asking for confirmation when guessing, and renames without asking for confirmation [--yes]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• ask = <0/1> — Always asks for confirmation before tagging [--ask]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• recursive = <0/1> — Recursively traverses all the given subdirectories [-R]. Default is 0 (disabled).
• verbose = <integer> — The message verbosity level [-v and -q]. Default is 0 (only important messages). The other possible values are 1 (show usage information when a menu is displayed for the first time) and 2 (always show usage information before a menu appears).

💿 CDDB configuration

For the CD database girlies. 🌐

• cddb_server_name = hostname — Changes the CDDB server name. Default is www.freedb.org.
• cddb_server_port = <port> — Changes the CDDB server port. Default is 80 (HTTP).
