detach(1)

🌸 detach(1) — User Commands, but make it bestie-coded 🌸

🎀 NAME 🎀

detach — run a command after detaching from the terminal, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

detach [options] [--] command [args]

Okay so here's the vibe: detach forks a new process, detaches it from the terminal, and executes command with the specified arguments. It's giving "run your thing, but make it independent" 💅.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

detach recognizes a couple of options, and they're discussed below, bestie. The special option -- is the cue that everything after it is the command and args to be passed along.

• -e file — connect file to the standard error of the command. stderr said "I have a home now" 🫶
• -f — run in the foreground, aka do not fork. Lowkey the "stay right here" button.
• -i file — connect file to the standard input of the command. feed it directly, periodt.
• -o file — connect file to the standard output of the command. stdout is moving in ✨
• -p file — write the pid of the detached process to file. screenshot the process ID for later 📸
• -- — the special option that signals the rest of the arguments are the command and args to be passed to it. iconic separator behavior 🎀

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

detach xterm

Start an xterm that will not be closed when the current shell exits. main character terminal energy, fr fr 🔥.
