CONFIG11(1)

📦 version 3.8.1, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 CONFIG11(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a section 1 manual page (that's the "general commands" girlypop zone, the one where all the user-facing commands live) and we're gonna talk about config11. sit down, get comfy, hydrate. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

config11 — calculate the floating address space layout of a PDP-11 or VAX

like... it maps out where everything floats in memory on a PDP-11 or a VAX. iconic retro mainframe behavior honestly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

config11

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no drama. you just run it. main character energy. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this manual page only documents the config11 command briefly. it's giving "we didn't have a lot of space and honestly we were rushing" 😭

it was written for the Debian distribution specifically, because the original program does not have a manual page of its own. nope. not one. instead it has documentation sitting around in various text files — see below, babe, I'm not gatekeeping. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • the options situation — for a complete description, see the text file. that's the whole vibe. the text file is where the answers live. iykyk. 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the program is documented fully by:

/usr/share/doc/simh/config11.txt

go read it. it's right there. it's free. 🌈

💜 AUTHOR 💜

this manual page was written by Vince Mulhollon <vlm@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but bestie, it may be used by others too, the door is open, everybody's welcome. 🫶🌸

💀 lowkey reminder: this page is a brief lil summary written for Debian, the real lore lives in /usr/share/doc/simh/config11.txt.

mwah 💋 and that's a wrap — this was the config11 page from the General Commands Manual, and it was last touched on February 19, 2003. yeah. it's been a minute. she's vintage, she's timeless, she's still here. periodt. ✨🎀💖
