JACK_WAIT(1)

💖 JACK_WAIT — bestie's guide to waiting on jackd 💖

okay so this is a page from the General Commands Manual (section 1, we love a section 1 girlie) for jack_wait, a JACK toolkit client whose whole entire personality is checking whether jackd exists and then waiting around for it like a loyal friend outside the dressing room. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

jack_wait — a JACK toolkit client that checks for, and waits on, the existence or the exit of jackd. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jack_wait [ -s | --server servername ] [ -t | --timeout timeout_seconds
[ -cqwhv ]

yes bestie, that bracket nesting is real and yes it is exactly like that, do not come for me. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, okay? When you invoke jack_wait with -c, it only checks whether a jack server exists — that's it, that's the whole job, she peeks and she leaves. 👑

When you invoke it with -w, the program will wait for a jackd to be available, like literally standing there with a little sign until the server shows up. 🫶

And the -q? That one makes it wait for the jackd to exit. it's giving "I'll be here when you're gone." 💀

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -w, --wait — wait for jackd to be available. patience is a love language fr fr. ⭐
• -q, --quit — wait for jackd to quit. bye bestie, we'll be watching. 🦋
• -c, --check — only check for the existence of jackd, and exit. in and out, no lingering. ✨
• -s, --server servername — connect to the jack server named servername. not all servers are the same server, iykyk. 💜
• -t, --timeout timeout_seconds — only wait timeout_seconds. we are NOT waiting forever, we have plans. 🎀
• -h, --help — display the help/usage message. when in doubt, ask for help, it's iconic. 💖
• -v, --version — output version information and exit. she'll tell you who she is and then dip. 👑

no cap: that is every single option on this page. there are seven of them and we listed all seven because we do not do half-finished lists around here. 🧚

and that's the whole vibe check! this page was version 4, dated 2022, and it lives in the General Commands Manual as JACK_WAIT(1). main character manual energy honestly, slay, periodt. 🌸💅🔥
