ffmaster(1)

💖 ffmaster(1) — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about ffmaster from the General Commands Manual section. yes it's a real one. yes it's iconic. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ffmaster — a whole example of coupling a c program and a freemfem++ script together using mmap and a semaphore. like, that's the entire personality. no cap. 🔥

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ffmaster [ debug_level ]

that's it. one optional lil argument. she's low maintenance, she's giving minimalist main character energy 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents, briefly, the scope of the ffmaster command. it's short, it's sweet, it knows what it is. 🦋

ffmaster is part of the FreeFem++ suite, which is the thing you use for the solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE's) via the Finite Element Method (FEM). yes bestie, we're doing math. we're doing physics. we're doing it with a semaphore. obsessed. 😭

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

a summary of options is included below, because we would never gatekeep:

• debug_level — a value from 0 to 1000000 levels of debug output verbosity. fr fr, up to a million. pick your chaos level. 0 is "i trust the universe", 1000000 is "i need to see every single thought this program has ever had" 💀
