💖 DEBIAN-REFERENCE(1) 💖

okay bestie, listen — this is debian-reference, the post-installation user's guide launcher. that's literally the whole thing. it's tiny. it's iconic. it's giving "one job and she does it" 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

debian-reference

no args. no flags. no drama. just vibes 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this is a small script — and when we say small we mean it — that opens up your favorite browser and shows you the index page. that's it. that's the function. she ate and left no crumbs 🍓

and the page she shows you? it lives right here, bestie, character for character:

file:///usr/share/doc/debian-reference-common/html/index.html

that's the index page of the debian-reference documentation package ✨ so like, all the actual guide content is in that package — this script is just the doorman who holds the door open for you 🫶

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • BROWSER — the browser used to display the HTML files. yes, this is how you pick which browser gets the honor of opening the docs. choose wisely 💜

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Osamu Aoki (osamu@debian.org). king behavior, honestly 👑
