DUP(nged)

💅 DUP(nged) — the dup page, bestie 💅

Okay so this is the dup manual from the BRL-CAD User Commands crew, and it's literally here to save you from name-clash chaos before you dbconcat. Let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

dup — checks the specified file (which is expected to contain a BRL-CAD model) for names that are the same as those in the current model. No cap, that's the whole job 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dup {file} [prefix]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Checks the specified file (which is expected to contain a BRL-CAD model) for names that are the same as those in the current model.

If a prefix is included on the command line, all names in the specified file will have that prefix added to their names before comparison with the current model.

This command is often used prior to invoking the dbconcat command to ensure that there are no name clashes. It's giving pre-flight vibe check for your model names ✨

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

The first example shows the use of the dup command to check for files having the same name as those in the current model. The second example shows how to prefix the file names in the other model before comparing them with the names of the current model files.

💖 Example 1 — check for files having the same name as those in the current model 💖

mged> dup other_model.g

This checks other_model.g for names duplicating those in the current model 👑

Then:

mged>dup other_model.g abc

Does the same check as in the first example, but prefixes all the names in other_model.g with abc before comparing with the names in the current model. Prefix era, honestly 🌈

That's the whole page, bestie — source/version tag is BRL-CAD, page tag is DUP(nged), and the footer doesn't list a date, so no fake date energy here 💅 Stay slay and clash-free 🎀💖
