💫 register-stardata — bestie edition ✨

okay so you found the stardata-common manual, and honestly? slay. this one lives in section 8 (that's the sysadmin/system-tools girlies 💅), and it's literally the thing that installs and removes star data catalogues + astronomy programs for you. no cap.

🌟 NAME 🌟

register-stardata — install or remove star data catalogues and astronomy programs 🦋

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

register-stardata [option] {install|remove}  {all|stardata}
{all|program}

that's the whole vibe. one option, then either install or remove, then which stardata (or all), then which program (or all). periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically register-stardata is a program that converts star data catalogues — the ones that conform to the stardata-common policy, iykyk — into astronomy programs' data formats, and it does it automatically on package install and removal. 🤯

stardata-common is the common framework that manages the insertion and removal of star data catalogues in a Debian system. and this program? this program liberates the user (that's you, bestie 🫶) from managing the installation and conversion of star data catalogues to the astronomy programs' data formats — it converts them automatically during the installation and removes them at uninstall. main character energy fr fr. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -q, --quiet — don't output any messages. shhh 🤫 not a single word.
  • --usage — output detailed syntax. it's giving "tell me more about how you want me typed".
  • --help — output help information and exit. your friendly little tutorial moment 🎀
  • --version — output version information and exit. number drop 💅

🌸 FILES 🌸

  • /usr/share/doc/stardata-common/policy

that's where the policy lives. go read it, it's the rules of the whole thing.

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

want the yale stardata catalogue available in formats understood by all astronomy programs available in the system? iconic. do this:

register-stardata install yale all

and when you want to remove the starplot format versions of all catalogues installed:

register-stardata remove all starplot

see? easy. ate. 🔥
