🌸 HOOLA(6) 🌸

okay bestie, so you're reading page HOOLA(6) from the Freecell Solver manual — iconic of you, honestly — and it's all about gen-multiple-pysol-layouts, the little deal-spitting goblin of your dreams 💅 no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gen-multiple-pysol-layouts. — the tool that generates a whole bunch of PySol / MS initial solitaire deals at once. yes the period is part of the name energy, we don't question it 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gen-multiple-pysol-layouts --dir=[dir] --prefix=[prefix] --suffix=[suf]
[idxs...]

that's the whole shape of it, bestie. flags first, indexes after, vibes throughout ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this program emits some starting PySol / Freecell Pro deals, each one landing in its own separate file, all tucked inside whatever target directory you point it at. it's giving factory-line-but-make-it-cozy 🧚

some examples, and yes they're literally the examples, don't come for me:

gen-multiple-pysol-layouts --dir foo/ --prefix "" --suffix .board --ms 24 42 100

gen-multiple-pysol-layouts --dir foo/ --prefix "" --suffix .board --ms seq 1 32000

gen-multiple-pysol-layouts --dir foo/ --prefix "" --suffix .board --ms read /path/to/indexes-file.txt

and if you wanna generate Black Hole solitaire deals — [that's this one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hole_%28solitaire%29), PySol FC style, link is right here in the page so you know it's legit:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hole_%28solitaire%29>

gen-multiple-pysol-layouts --game black_hole --dir foo/ --prefix "" --suffix .board seq 100000 200000

look at that. 100000 to 200000. main character energy honestly 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so the original page says, and I quote in spirit:

To be discussed.

that's it. that's the whole options section. it's giving "we'll circle back" 😭 the flags are out there living their lives, the manpage just hasn't caught up yet. when the docs get their act together, bestie, we'll all know 🫶
