💖 DIAL_TONE — bestie edition 💖

okay so you opened the manual for dial_tone(1)?? from the User Commands section?? we love a lowkey legend. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

dial_tone — dial tone example

like. that's it. that's the whole name. iconic minimalism honestly 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

GnuRadio Dial Tone example

that's the vibe. it's a GnuRadio example, it makes a dial tone, no cap. fr fr that's the entire plot of this movie 🦋

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

None

not a single flag. not one. the way this program said "I have nothing to configure and I'm at peace with that" 😭👑

Play a Dial Tone on the sound card output device.

so yeah — it just plays a dial tone straight out of your sound card's output device. that's the whole job. main character energy, zero options, does one thing and does it well ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The c++ gnuradio example programs are in /usr/bin. There are also many Python and GnuRadio Companion examples in /usr/share/gnuradio/examples/...

go explore bestie, there's a whole directory of them waiting for you 🫶

lowkey no warnings here, no gotchas, no deprecated anything — just a cute little tone generator minding its own business 💜

okay that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs 🍽️✨ this was DIAL_TONE version 3.10.12.0, dated 2026-01-03 — mwah, bye bestie 💖🎀🦋
