the ones that work everywhere, periodt:

  • --help[=FMT] (default=auto) — show this help in format FMT, girly. the value FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. with auto, the format is pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined 🙈

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

when she dips, she dips with a number. here's the whole vibe check:

  1. 0 — on success 🥳 slay
  2. 123 — on indiscriminate errors reported on standard error 😭
  3. 124 — on command line parsing errors 💀 (that one's on you)
  4. 125 — on unexpected internal errors (bugs) 🐛
real talk: 124 means she couldn't even understand what you asked for, and 125 means she messed up, not you. it's giving "it's not you, it's me" but make it a bug report 🫶

that's the whole page, bestie. no notes, she ate 💅✨
