okay bestie, listen up π this is the manual page for hppwd, and it's genuinely one of the most low-effort-iconic little tools out there. no cap.
πΈ NAME πΈ
hppwd β print the current working directory on an HFS+ volume π¦
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
hppwd
that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, no drama. it just works. π
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does this little main character actually do? hppwd prints the absolute pathname to the current directory on the HFS+ volume that you already mounted earlier (like, previously mounted, so go do hpmount first if you haven't, bestie π).
and here's the part that lowkey trips people up: in the path it prints, the individual volume and directory names are separated with slashes "/" instead of the Macintosh-style colons ":". so it's giving very much Unix energy, not classic Mac energy. the way that it just swaps the separator on you?? iconic but also watch out π
