✨ fvwm-perllib β€” the Fvwm Utilities glow-up ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because this one is genuinely useful. fvwm-perllib is a lil utility from the Fvwm Utilities corner of the world that just… shows you the docs for the Fvwm Perl library πŸ’–


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

fvwm-perllib β€” shows the documentation of the Fvwm Perl library


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

fvwm-perllib [ --help|-h|-? ] [ --version|-v|-V ] [ man [ Perl::Class ]
] [ cat [ Perl::Class ] ] [ raw [ Perl::Class ] ] [ dir ]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like. starting from fvwm-2.5.x versions, there's built-in support for making fvwm modules in Perl. periodt. and this fvwm-perllib utility is the help-service bestie for the Fvwm Perl library β€” it's giving personal assistant energy 🫢


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • --help β€” show the help and exit. iconic, unbothered, done.
  • --version β€” show the version and exit.
  • --man or man [ Perl::Class ] β€” show the manual page just like man(1) does πŸ’œ
  • --cat or cat [ Perl::Class ] β€” show the manual page in plain text. no frills, just vibes.
  • --raw or raw [ Perl::Class ] β€” generate output in man format, which is not human readable. literally for machines only, don't try to read it with your eyes πŸ’€
  • --dir or dir β€” print the perllib directory without a trailing end of line. no cap, that missing newline is the whole point.
