✨ nms — No More Secrets ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the nms manual page 💖 this is section 6 of the manual (games/entertainment section, we love a niche queen 👑), and it's literally called "No More Secrets". iconic name, iconic behaviour, zero notes.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

nms [options]

that's it. that's the whole thing. she's simple, she's stunning 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -a — turns on the auto-decrypt flag, so the decryption sequence just starts on its own. no key press required, no waiting around, we're moving fast fr fr 🦋
  • -s — sets the mask blanks flag. blank spaces get encrypted and decrypted too — so the gaps aren't just sitting there untouched, they get the full treatment ✨
  • -c — clears the screen before printing any output. fresh slate, fresh vibe, main character energy 🎀
  • -v — shows version info. say hi to the version number bestie 👋
  • -f<COLOR> — sets the foreground color of the decrypted text to whatever color you name. the valid options are white, black, yellow, magenta, cyan, blue (default), green, or red. yes, blue is the default, and yes, you can absolutely pick a different one 🌈
not me noticing -f takes its color stuck right onto it — so it's -f<COLOR>, not -f <COLOR>. keep that in mind bestie, she's a little particular 💀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this command works on piped data. pipe any ASCII or UTF-8 text into nms and she will apply the hollywood effect — the one you've seen on screen in the 1992 hacker movie Sneakers. that's the whole aesthetic. that's the assignment. and she ate 🔥

the way it works is: initially you see encrypted data, and then a decryption sequence starts to reveal the original plaintext characters. scramble → reveal. the drama of it all 😭💖
