SIEVED(8)

💖 SIEVED(8) — the Cyrus IMAP glow-up, section 8 energy 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about sieved — the little Cyrus IMAP icon that takes your compiled sieve bytecode and un-compiles it right back into something a human can read. it's giving reverse-uno. it's giving "bestie, I found the source." no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

sieved — Cyrus IMAP documentation

literally the tool that decompiles a sieve script back from bytecode. that's the whole vibe. that's the whole job. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sieved [OPTIONS] bytcodefile

(yes, bytcodefile — that's the actual spelling in here, do not come for me, I copy things exactly 💅)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so sieved decompiles the bytecodefile you hand it and writes the output to stdout. that's it. that's the whole main character moment. no files get written, no drama, output just vibes its way into your terminal. ✨

by default? the output is a descriptive version of the bytecode — like, it's describing what the bytecode is doing, narrating it, being a lil commentator. 📝

but with the -s option? now we're cooking. instead of describing, it produces an equivalent sieve script — actual script-shaped output. 🔥

⚠️ heads up bestie: if the bytecode contains deprecated features, the resulting script will not be compilable without changes. so like, it'll hand you the script but the compiler is gonna look at it like 🙈. plan accordingly.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -s, --as-sieve — produce a sieve script rather than describing the bytecode. lowkey this is the fun one. BUT note that if the bytecode contains deprecated features, the resulting script will not be compilable without changes. so you will have to go in there and edit it yourself. the audacity. 😭
