okay bestie, welcome to the glxdemo page, straight out of the General Commands Manual section, no cap β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
glxdemo β a demonstration of the GLX functions
π SYNOPSIS π
glxdemo
that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, just send it π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so like, the glxdemo program is basically a living tutorial for the GLX functions π¦ it shows you how to use them so you can create an OpenGL program that runs on top of an X server β which is, lowkey, the whole plot of the thing.
and here's the tea, bestie: this program is most useful when studied in its source code form π like, yes you can run it, but the real main character energy is in reading how it's built. it's giving textbook, but make it compile. πβ¨

no warnings, no bugs, no weird edge cases here β just a cute little demo living its best life on your X server π
and that's a wrap, babe π this page is from 2006-11-29 and it belongs to glxdemo(1) β yes it's been slaying since 2006 and it's still valid. periodt. π
