π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so, the gmixvm utility is a graphical simulator for the MIX virtual machine. periodt.
and what's MIX, you ask? it's Donald Knuth's mythical computer π§β¨ described in the very first volume of The Art of Computer Programming, and it gets programmed using MIXAL, which is the MIX assembly language. iconic behaviour, honestly.
π ENVIRONMENT π
ngl this one's a short one: the operation of the gmixvm utility is not affected by its environment. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. π
π EXIT STATUS π
the gmixvm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. so if you see a zero, you ate. if you see bigger than zero, something went wrong bestie π
