✨ BIBLETIME(1) ✨

okay so bestie — this is the manual page for bibletime, straight out of the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood Unix box. It's a bible study tool and it's lowkey iconic. Let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

bibletime — it's a Bible study tool, periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bibletime [ options ]

That's it. That's the whole vibe. You run it, you can throw some options at it, slay.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this manual page documents the BibleTime Qt Application — briefly, because we're keeping it cute and to the point.

BibleTime is a free and easy to use bible study tool for UNIX systems. No cap. It is a GUI for the SWORD library, so like, all that texty goodness underneath but with a pretty face on top 🎀

BibleTime provides easy handling of digitized texts — and when we say texts we mean Bibles, commentaries and lexicons — plus some genuinely powerful features to work with these texts, like searching in texts, writing your own notes, saving, printing, etc. It's giving main character energy for your study sessions fr fr.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --help — shows help about the options. The classic "wait what does this do again" move 🫶
  • -V, --version — shows version information. Vibe check the build, iykyk.
  • --debug — enables debug messages. For when you want the terminal to tell you everything 💀
  • --ignore-session — ignores the startup session that was saved when BibleTime was closed the last time. Basically: forget what past-you was doing, we're starting fresh 🌈
  • *--open-default-bible *key — opens the default bible with the given key. And plot twist: use random to open at a random position. Chaos mode activated, we love her 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

The full documentation for bibletime and bible study are maintained as docbook manuals. So if the khelpcenter program is properly installed at your site, this command right here:

khelpcenter help:/bibletime

should give you access to the complete manual. Go off, bestie 👑
