πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
gomidas [ -d display ] [ -m mid_work ]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the tea π: gomidas resumes a previous, already-exited MIDAS session. That session got saved by inmidas (like, right before it peaced out) into a file that lives in the MID_WORK directory. slay.
now, if inmidas was run in PARALLEL mode, there could be several files chillin' in MIDWORK, each holding a different saved MIDAS session π. In that case, gomidas will read the one associated with its terminal if that file exists. and if it doesn't? then it just reads the one associated with the latest MIDAS session that exited. main character energy, honestly. β¨
