* While you technically won't run into an error, these scripts do expect tar to support Zstandard, which isn't necessarily POSIX standard.
All scripts support -h and --help for printing built-in documentation.
Almost all scripts do nothing if no input arguments are given. (The exceptions are whisper and wttr.)
These being re-used scripts, there's been a great deal of feature creep, bikeshedding, and over-engineering. That is to say, there's a lot of uncertainty as to how reliable these scripts are. To mitigate these concerns, shellcheck is a development dependency. A test suite is in the making, and hopefully new entrants to this repository will come with tests.
If you really want to use anything in this repository-and I need to stress if you really want to-just go right ahead. I'm licensing everything under GPL because I'd appreciate you letting me know I messed something up. But you really shouldn't try using anything here in production...
