man(8)

✨ NAME ✨

catty — the source file concatenator for Mapshaper 💅 (and yes bestie, this is section man(8), so it's a lil sysadmin-coded page, not your regular shell builtin vibe)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

catty [options] input output

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, catty is the source file concatenator for Mapshaper. that's the whole thing. it takes your source files, smushes them together, and hands them over to Mapshaper. iconic behavior honestly 🌸

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -f — monitor the source files and re-cat whenever something changes 👀 like it's literally watching your files, no cap. change something, it re-concatenates. main character energy fr fr.
• -g — don't wrap the source files in an immediate function 🫶 so they just... come out bare. no little cozy wrapper. just the raw files, as they are.
• -d — a comma-separated list of directories to monitor 🍓 so you tell it exactly where to look with its lil surveillance operation.
• -h — print the help message ✨ your bestie when you forgot how the flags work (it's me, I'm the bestie, I forget).

ngl bestie, -d says "directories to monitor" — so it's giving partner-in-crime to -f, not a standalone solo act. pair them up 💅
