AALIB(1)

✨ AALIB(1) — aalib example programs 🎀

okay bestie, this is the manual page for the aalib example programs, and we're covering all four of them: aafire, aainfo, aasavefont, and aatest 💖 they're basically little demo apps that show off what the aalib ascii art library can do 🦋

💅 NAME

okay so the whole page is about four programs at once, and they all share the same vibe: aafire, aainfo, aasavefont, and aatest 🌈 they're all aalib example programs 🧚

📋 SYNOPSIS

the way you'd call each one 👑

aafire [options]

aainfo [options]

aasavefont [options] file_name variable_name long_name short_name

aatest [options]

the first three lines are the simple ones 💜 aasavefont is the odd one out because it wants a bunch of extra stuff after the options: a file_name, a variable_name, a long_name, and a short_name 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION

okay so this section is literally the tea ☕ it's giving "here's what each of these does" 💀

This manual page documents briefly the aafire, aainfo, aasavefont, and aatest programs.

All of these programs exist to demonstrate the capabilities of the aalib library, an ascii art library. Main character energy for sure ✨

• aafire — displays burning ascii art flames 🔥 it's literally a little bonfire in your terminal, iconic 💀
• aainfo — displays information about what drivers aalib will use for the display, keyboard, and mouse 🖥️ and also what parameters, such as screen size, those drivers will use 📏 it's like a vibe check on your setup 🫶
• aasavefont — saves a font to a file 🍓 ngl a very useful little tool
• aatest — tests the capabilities of aalib 🧪 it's the "does this even work" program, fr fr
