💖 magnus(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about magnus — it's in the General Commands Manual section of your system, it's a command-line girlie, and she is so uncomplicated it's actually iconic. no config files, no daemon drama, no fifty-page ritual. just vibes and magnification. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

magnus — A very simple screen magnifier 🎀

like. that's it. that's the whole pitch. a screen magnifier, and she is very simple, and we love that for her. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

magnus [--about] [--refresh-interval=MILLISECONDS]

look at her. two optional things, both wrapped in the little square brackets so you know they're optional. you can literally just type magnus and go. main character energy fr fr. ✨

quick tea ☕ — the synopsis shows --about sitting right there in the options list, but the page itself doesn't spill any more details about it beyond that. so it exists, she's invited to the party, and the manual is keeping her backstory mysterious. 🙈

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

A very simple screen magnifier for visually impaired users.

and yes — it does exactly one thing and it does it well, which is honestly the most slay approach to software. no bloat, no twenty-tab settings window, no "would you like to sign in with your account". she magnifies. periodt. 👑

Zoom level: you can set it to literally anything between 2x and 5x. that's the range, those are the numbers, that's the vibe. 2x to 5x, anything in between, go off. 🔥

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • --refresh-interval=MILLISECONDS — how often to update Magnus's magnifier view. the lower the number, the more often she's refreshing that view for you. Defaults to 120ms. ⏱️

and that's genuinely the whole documented option list, bestie. one (1) option. she said "I don't need more, I'm enough." and honestly? correct. 💜

🧚 a lil recap, for the group chat 🧚

  • magnus magnifies your screen. that's the job. 💖
  • it's for visually impaired users. 🫶
  • zoom goes anywhere from 2x to 5x. 🌸
  • --refresh-interval=MILLISECONDS controls how often the magnifier view updates, defaulting to 120ms. ⭐
  • --about is hanging out in the synopsis being cute and mysterious. 🎀

and that's the page!! magnus(1), living in the General Commands Manual, no version number, no date stamp, just a girl and her magnification. if you ever spot a date or a version hiding on this page, tell me, because I did not see one and I looked. 👀 anyway, bye bestie, go magnify something, you're doing amazing, mwah 💅✨
