GXTUNER(1)

🎸 GXTUNER(1) — the tuner page, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the manual for gxtuner, and yes this is a page from the General Commands Manual section 1, so you're in the right place 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

gxtuner — it's a tuner, for jackd 🎀

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

gxtuner

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args required, she just shows up 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this page is a brief little rundown of the gxtuner program, nothing more. and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution specifically because the original program does not have a manual page of its own. so we made one. you're welcome 🫶

gxtuner is a simple, small and lightweight guitar/bass tuner that hooks up through the Jack Audio Connection Kit. lowkey the perfect little tool, no bloat, just tuning ✨

she comes with an analogue like interface (scale), shows you the tune (char), and also shows the accumulated frequency (Hz). three things, all iconic, all on screen 👑
