getfdprm(1)

💾 NAME 💾

getfdprm — bestie, this one prints the current format information. That's it, that's the whole job. 💅

📢 NOTE 📢

Okay so real talk before we get into it — this manpage was automatically generated from fdutils's texinfo documentation. 🫠

And the way that translation happened? It's only approximative, no cap. Some stuff straight up did not survive the trip:

• cross-references? gone 🙈
• footnotes? gone 😭
• indices? gone 💀

Like, these items have no appropriate representation in the manpage format, so they just… vanished. And on top of that, only the items specific to each command got translated — all the general information about fdutils got dropped in the manpage version. So yeah. I strongly advise you to use the original texinfo doc. It's giving ✨ the real one ✨.

• To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run these commands:

./configure; make dvi; dvips fdutils.dvi

• To generate a HTML copy, run:

./configure; make html

A pre-made HTML can be found at: http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/fdutils

• To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

./configure; make info

The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as HTML, fr fr. Because in the info version, certain examples are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions used in info. It's giving unreadable, bestie. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

getfdprm [drive]

getfdprm prints the current geometry information for drive. 🎀

And plot twist — that info? You can set it using setfdprm. So this is like the little read-only bestie to setfdprm's main character energy. 👑

Okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 — this iconic little number is from fdutils-5.6, dated 27Jan21. Go print yourself a floppy geometry, you absolute legend. 🦋✨
