MANPAGE-ALERT(1)

💖 MANPAGE-ALERT(1) 💖

the cute little Debian utilities manpage that goes hunting for binaries living their truth with no manpage to explain them 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

manpage-alert — check for binaries without corresponding manpages 👀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

manpage-alert [options] [paths]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so bestie, here's the tea ☕ — manpage-alert goes through the list of paths you hand it and searches for binaries that have no corresponding manpage. like, imagine a whole executable just out there with no documentation. no cap, tragic. it's giving abandoned. 😭

and if you don't specify any paths on the command line? no worries, it just assumes this whole path list for you:

/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/games

periodt. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you a lil summary of all the options 🫶
• -V, --version — shows the version and copyright info ⭐
• -f, --file — shows the filenames of the missing manpages with zero leading text, just the raw names, clean, minimal, iconic ✨
• -p, --package — shows the filenames of the missing manpages along with their package name 📦
• -n, --no-stat — do not show the statistics at the end. no numbers, no summary, just vibes 🙈

manpage-alert was written by Branden Robinson and then modified by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org> and Adam D. Barratt <debian-bts@adam-barratt.org.uk> — and that last one also wrote this very manpage, slay 💅 — all for the devscripts package. 🫶

and that's the whole thing!! brought to you by the fine folks at DEBIAN — the Debian Utilities crew — mwah, love that for them 🎀 bye bestie, go document ur binaries ✨🦋
