ESDPLAY(1)

✨ ESDPLAY ✨

okay bestie, buckle up, we're playing audio files on EsounD and it's gonna be adorable 💖 this is the manual page for esdplay from the Enlightened Sound Daemon world, and yes it lives in section 1 of the manual, that's the "user commands" section, iykyk 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

esddsp — attempt to reroute audio device to esd

not me reading this and going "bestie… that's esddsp, not esdplay" 💀 but fr fr, that is literally what this page says in its NAME section, so we're keeping it exactly as-is. no cap, no edits, we do not touch the lore.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Plays the FILE on EsounD. 🎶

that's it. that's the whole description. it plays a file. on EsounD. iconic behavior honestly 👑

💅 USAGE 💅

esdplay [OPTIONS] FILE

so the vibe is: you give it some OPTIONS, you give it a FILE, and it goes brrr 🌈

Options:

• -s, --server=HOSTNAME — sets the EsounD server, so if your daemon is chillin' somewhere specific, this is how you point at it 🫶
• -h, --help — displays this help and then dips out, exit stage left, no notes 💫
• -v, --version — outputs version information and then also dips out 🎀
