💖 DEBIMAN-AUXSERVER 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is a page from the General Commands Manual and it's short but it's mighty. It's called debiman-auxserver and honestly? It's the little redirect gremlin that keeps your manpage links from being a whole mess. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

debiman-auxserver — serves HTTP redirects 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

debiman-auxserver [flag]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe. debiman-auxserver loads up an index of manpages that was generated by debiman(1), and then it serves HTTP redirects for paths that aren't fully qualified. Like, paths that are giving "incomplete", you know? 🙈

For example (and this is literally the example, no cap): if you go access /i3.1, you get redirected to /stretch/i3-wm/i3.1.en.html. Iconic behavior. The glow-up from short lil path to fully qualified path is chef's kiss 👑

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • Run debiman-auxserver --help for more details.
that's it. that's the whole options section. the manpage said "go ask --help, she knows more than I do." respect. 💀
