This manual page was written by Martin Wuertele <martin@wuertele.net> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). queen behaviour, honestly 👑

okay that's the whole page bestie, and if you're wondering about that little 2 and IBAM(1) at the bottom of the original — that's just the page number and the footer stamp, which means this is literally page two of the IBAM saga. and the version stamp up top says IBAM-0.3 with (C) 2001-2004 Sebastian Ritterbusch holding it down. slay. go check your battery. 💅🔋✨
