FQTERM(1)

💖 FQTERM(1) — the fqterm manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about fqterm — it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual and it is lowkey a whole legend. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fqterm — a BBS client written in Qt. that's it, that's the vibe. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fqterm

yeah. no flags, no args, no drama. you just run it. iconic behaviour fr fr. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page documents briefly the fqterm command — like, the sparknotes version, not the whole trilogy.

FQTerm is one of the most widely used BBS clients in China, no cap. it supports telnet/ssh1/ssh2 protocols and it can process ANSI control sequences, which is giving serious terminal competence. you can use it to log in to BBS sites or *NIX hosts. both. it does both. main character energy. ✨

now here's the encoding tea ☕ — almost all the BBSes in the Greater China Region are in BIG5 or GBK encoding. so FQTerm only supports these two encodings, plus common ASCII and UTF-8. that's the whole list, bestie, don't come for her about it. 🎀

and yes, FQTerm is written in Qt. the name literally tells you. iykyk. 🦋

Homepage: https://github.com/mytbk/fqterm — go look, it's right there, it's free, it's giving open source.

this manual page was written by LI Daobing <lidaobing@gmail.com> and Boyuan Yang <073plan@gmail.com> for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but may be used by others. (yes, that's the actual license-adjacent blessing, and we love that for everyone. permission granted, babes. 🫶)

💀 quick vibe check: this page only documents fqterm briefly. so if you were hoping for 47 options and a deep dive into ANSI escape tables… not here, bestie. not here. the whole synopsis is literally just fqterm. respect the minimalism. 🙈

and that's the page!! this was FQTERM, from the General Commands Manual, dated 2016-12-18, and the footer was giving very much FQTERM 2016-12-18 FQTERM(1) — a little bookend moment for the archives. periodt. 💖✨🎀
