KAWARI8(6)

💖 KAWARI8 — kawari 8.0 encoder/decoder 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about the kawari 8.0 encoder/decoder trio: kawari_encode, kawari_encode2, and kawari_decode2. this whole page lives in the Games Manual, section 6, and it's the Debian write-up of these little guys. let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kawari_encode [file ...]

kawari_encode2 [file ...]

kawari_decode2 [file ...]

three commands, three vibes, one family. no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this manual page documents briefly the kawari command. that's it, that's the brief. 🫶

real talk though: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. instead, it has documentation written in HTML format. for detailed descriptions, see doc-base. so if you want the full lore, that's where you go, bestie, this is just the sparknotes version 💅

🔥 kawari_encode

kawari_encode encodes kawari scripts to an encoded file. so the users for the scripts cannot easily read the content. it can be used to protect the content of Kawari scripts.

it takes several text files as inputs and converts them to .kaw files separately. one in, one out, no mixing, periodt. ✨

👑 kawari_encode2

kawari_encode2 is an advanced kawari_encode. it's giving glow-up. it is able to assign a symmetric key like some encrypting systems. the key affects the encoding system. users need the key to decode them.

⚠️ lowkey important: the key affects the encoding system, so if you lose it, that's a you problem and the file is just going to sit there being mysterious. keep the key. i'm serious. 😭

🦋 kawari_decode2

kawari_decode2 is a decoder of the .kaw files. it takes several .kaw files and convert them back to .txt files. if the kaw files is encoded by kawari_encode2, the key must be provided correctly for decoding.

so yeah — no key, no text. the vibes are locked. 🔐
