💅 isenkram-lookup — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to isenkram-lookup(1), a User Commands page, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, big heart" 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

isenkram-lookup — look up hardware related packages relevant for this machine ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

isenkram-lookup [--help|-h] [modalias] ...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this thing goes and extracts all the modalias values chillin' in /proc on your current machine, and then it checks whether those modalias values map to packages you could actually install. like, it's matchmaking for your hardware and your package list. no cap. 💅

but wait, there's more ✨ — if you pass arguments, those get interpreted as a modalias value and used instead of the modalias values that are actually present on the current machine. so you can be like "no bestie, use these ones." iconic.

and if you wanna go find all the modalias strings for your machine yourself, you can literally just run this:

find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 sort -u

run it, screenshot it, put it in the group chat. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

There are no options.

yeah. that's the whole section. i know 😭 it's short but it's honest. the <--help|-h> in the synopsis is just... there. living its life. the manual says there are no options, so there are no options, periodt. 👑
