ID16(1)

💖 ID16 💖

okay bestie, so id16 is a manual page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's giving very much "small page, big lore" energy. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

id16 — simulate an Interdata 16b computer 💅

no cap, that's the whole job. it pretends to be a whole entire Interdata 16b computer. iconic behavior honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

id16

that's it. that's the synopsis. no flags, no args, just vibes and a command name. she's low maintenance like that 🎀

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this manual page documents the id16 command briefly. like, briefly briefly.

this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so instead of a nice tidy man page, it has documentation in various text files. see below 👇 (spoiler: there's a whole list, she's organized fr fr)

💅 OPTIONS 💅

there are no options listed here, bestie 😭 for a complete description, see the text files. that's the whole mood.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the programs are documented fully by these files, and you will be reading them if you want the full picture:

• /usr/share/doc/simh/simh_faq.pdf
• /usr/share/doc/simh/simh_breakpoints.pdf

also important: all documentation files are registered with the doc-base system. periodt. ✨
