AMBER_ASCII_EXPORT(7)

🦋 AMBER_ASCII_EXPORT(7) — the amber recipes, bestie edition 🦋

okay so you found amber_ascii_export, the manual page, section 7 of the amber recipes. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

amber_ascii_export — AMBER frame data to ASCII export. that's the whole vibe. it takes AMBER frame data and it exports it. to ASCII. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

esorex amber_ascii_export [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

that's it. that's the summoning ritual. you hand it a .sof file, you can toss some [OPTIONS] in there if you're feeling spicy, and EsoRex does the rest. no cap. 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this recipe takes the data living inside an AMBER OI product and exports it out into ASCII files. it's giving "liberate the numbers from their fancy container". ✨

and listen — there are two export methods present. two. a whole duality. which one you get depends on the option below, so keep reading, bestie 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --export-method <str> — this is the one picking which export method you're rolling with. it takes a str, and its default is ´Export SNR, Vis2´. the full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is amber.amber_ascii_export.export_method [default = Export SNR, Vis2]. yes, the default has a comma in it. yes, that's allowed. we love a list-shaped default. 🌈

💡 little side note from the original, and it's important: it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. so if you're tired of typing things forever, that's your moment. please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command. 🧚
