GEXEC(1)
π GEXEC(1) β the manual, but make it make sense
okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section for gexec, and no, we are NOT skipping the boring parts, we're doing the whole thing πΈ
β¨ NAME β¨
gexec β Interactive run dialog
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
gexec [options]
π DESCRIPTION π
So, real talk: this manual page is the brief little rundown of the gexec command. That's literally its whole job here.
And gexec itself? It's a program that pops up a small interactive command execution dialog, and it comes with history and autocompletition β yes that's how the original page spells it, autocompletition, and honestly? iconic. we keep it π
π OPTIONS π
okay so these programs do the whole usual GNU command line syntax thing, which means long options start with two dashes (-). A summary of the options is right down below π and if you want the complete description, go read the README file, that's where the full tea is π
-h,--helpβ shows you a summary of the options. that's it, that's the whole vibe β¨-k,--keepopenβ keeps gExec open even after it executes a command. no vanishing act π«
π AUTHOR π
gexec was written by Ferry Boender. giving main character energy fr fr π«Ά
This manual page was written by Johann Rudloff <cypheon@gmx.net>, for the Debian project (but it may be used by others β sharing is caring, bestie).
ok that's the whole page, no cap. go forth and run your little dialog π
so yeah, this little love letter to gexec is dated November 2, 2006 and it comes from GEXEC(1) β and that's the sign-off, mwah ππ
