🌸 NAME 🌸

cool-retro-term — a terminal emulator that's literally mimicking the old cathode display 💖 like, actual CRT energy, in your terminal, no cap.

btw bestie this whole thing lives in section 1 of the <b>General Commands Manual</b>, so it's cool-retro-term(1) when you're citing it in a group chat 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cool-retro-term [--default-settings] [--workdir <dir>] [--program <prog>] [-p|--profile <prof>] [--fullscreen] [-h|--help]

that's the whole vibe check up top. --program <prog> is in there, yes, and yes, we're gonna talk about it. keep reading 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, this manual page documents briefly the cool-retro-term command. that's it, that's the description. short and iconic, we love a minimal queen 🫶

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay here's the menu, bestie. every single flag, no gatekeeping, periodt.

  • --default-settings — runs cool-retro-term with the default settings. like, factory fresh, no notes 💖
  • --workdir <dir> — changes the working directory to dir. give it a home, it'll live there 🏠
  • -e <cmd> — the command to execute. ⚠️ but listen: this option catches all the following arguments, so you gotta use it as the last option. last. final. the end. don't put anything after it, or it'll get slurped up 💀
  • --fullscreen — runs cool-retro-term in fullscreen. main character energy, edge to edge, no distractions ✨
  • -p|--profile <prof> — runs cool-retro-term with the given profile prof. pick your aesthetic, babe 🎀
  • -h|--help — prints this help. the classic. the icon 👑
  • --verbose — prints additional information, such as profiles and settings. the way it just tells you everything? obsessed 🔍
ngl, quick reminder: that -e <cmd> thing is the only one with a spicy caveat. everything after it belongs to it. that's not me being dramatic, that's just the rules 🙈

okay and that's a wrap, bestie!! this was the cool-retro-term(1) page, General Commands Manual edition — source/version cool-retro-term(1), dated <b>August 22 2016</b> ⭐ go forth and make your terminal look like it's from 1987, iykyk 💜💅
