MATE-VOLUME-CONTROL(1)

💖 MATE-VOLUME-CONTROL 💖

okay bestie, so you know that little speaker icon situation on your MATE desktop? yeah. this is the manual page for it. the app is mate-volume-control — the MATE Volume Control application, aka the thing that decides how loud everything is. iconic behavior honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mate-volume-control [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, it opens, you mix. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the MATE Volume Control application is an audio mixer — which is a fancy way of saying it lets you mix audio and adjust the volume levels of all the various audio mixer devices hanging out on your system. Multiple devices? Different levels? Yeah. It handles that. She's multitasking. She's the main character. 🎀

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

Every single one, no skips, we're not gatekeeping:

• -b, --backend=pulse|alsa|oss|null — launches mate-volume-control with the sound system backend you picked. Choose your fighter: pulse, alsa, oss, or null (silence era, I guess?).
• -d, --debug — turns on debugging code. it's giving "not me reading the logs at 2am" energy 🔥
• -p, --page=effects|hardware|input|output|applications — launches mate-volume-control straight onto the page/tab you asked for. The options are effects, hardware, input, output, and applications. Skip the scrolling, go directly to the tab of your dreams ✨
• -v, --version — spits out version information and dips. bye bestie 👋
• --display=DISPLAY — the X display to use. DISPLAY is a placeholder there, don't type it literally, ok?
• -?, -h, --help — prints the standard command line options. three whole ways to ask for help, she's generous 💖
• --help-all — prints all the command line options. the full lore dump.

Also, lowkey important: this program also accepts the standard GTK+ options. Not extra, that's just how it is.

• --help-gtk — prints the GTK+ options specifically.
