FARM-RUN.PL(1)

🎀 FARM-RUN.PL 🎀

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for farm-run.pl, a lil user command that lives in section 1 of the manual 💖 pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

farm-run.pl — bestie, this one literally just helps running maq jobs in batch mode 💅 that's the whole vibe, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

farm-run.pl [-OPTIONS [-MORE_OPTIONS]] [--] [PROGRAM_ARG1 ...]

so yeah, that's the shape of it: options, maybe more options, maybe a --, and then optionally some program args. it's giving "flexible but structured" 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk — this script needs a config file, and you can make that config file using maq.pl(1). that's it. that's the requirement. no config file, no party 🙈 so go build one with maq.pl(1) first and then come back, iykyk.

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• With arguments: -R -c -q

these three are the ones that take arguments, bestie — the rest of the flags just vibe along for the ride ✨

and some general rules of the game, because they matter:

• Options may be merged together. so like, you can smoosh them and they'll still understand you 🫶
• -- stops processing of options. periodt. everything after that is not an option anymore 💅
• Space is not required between options and their arguments. the options and their args can be all snuggled up together, no gap needed, iconic behavior honestly 👑

ngl these three rules are the whole personality of the option parser. respect them and you'll be fine 💖
