π NAME π
cb_console_runner β bestie, it's the Code::Blocks IDE console programs launcher β¨
Okay so real quick, this page lives in the <cyan>cb_console_runner man page</cyan> section of the manual, and honestly? It's a short one. A little icon. A tiny legend. Let's go π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
cb_console_runner args
That's it. That's the whole summoning ritual π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So cb_console_runner is part of the Code::Blocks IDE, right? And its whole thing β its entire personality β is that it launches console programs and then waits for them to finish. Just sits there. Patiently. Like a bestie holding your iced coffee while you try on jeans π
And when the console program is finally done doing its little thing, cb_console_runner pops up with:
Press ENTER to continue
That's its sole job. No side quests, no subplots, no character arc. It launches, it waits, it says press enter. Periodt π
πΈ OPTIONS πΈ
- No options.
Yeah bestie, you heard me. Zero. None. Not a single flag. It's giving minimalism, it's giving "I have one job and I'm doing it beautifully" π
π« EXAMPLES π«
Okay here's what it actually looks like in the wild:
cb_console_runner /home/user/test_program --prog_arg1
See how the args after the program just get passed along? The program runs, the vibes are immaculate, and then you get your little Press ENTER to continue moment π
