πŸ’– DEJAGNU-HELP πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the DejaGnu manual page for dejagnu help β€” it lives in the LOCAL manual, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

dejagnu help β€” display manual pages for DejaGnu auxiliary commands πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

dejagnu help [options...] ⟨command⟩

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The dejagnu help command displays long-form documentation for DejaGnu auxiliary commands. that's it, that's the whole vibe β€” you want the full tea on an auxiliary command, this is who you call 🫢


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

  • -v, --verbose β€” emit additional output describing the operation of dejagnu help itself. like, it narrates its own little life. iconic behavior honestly ✨
  • -w, --path β€” this option is simply passed on to man. no thoughts, just vibes, straight through πŸ’«
  • -W β€” this option is simply passed on to man. same energy, different flag πŸŽ€

πŸ“ FILES πŸ“

The dejagnu help command checks for man pages in a doc/ directory next to the commands/ directory where this script is located. If the page is found there, a full file name is given to man. Otherwise, only the command name is given and the search described in man(1) is performed.

so basically: it looks in its own little neighborhood first (doc/ right next to commands/) and if your page is chilling there, it hands man the full path like "here bestie, I got it for you" πŸ₯°. if not? it just passes along the bare command name and lets man(1) do its whole search thing. lowkey teamwork fr fr.
