miral-terminal(1)

✨ miral-terminal β€” the terminal-launcher bestie ✨

okay so you found the manual page for miral-terminal, part of the Mir Display Server Demo Application family (that's the miral-terminal(1) situation, section 1, iykyk). let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

miral-terminal β€” Terminal wrapper for Mir Display Server

like. it wraps a terminal. for Mir. that's the whole vibe 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

miral-terminal [options]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea: miral-terminal launches a terminal window inside the Mir Display Server shell. iconic behaviour, honestly.

but wait β€” it's not a big compiled binary or anything dramatic. it's literally a script. a little script bestie that wraps around the first found terminal application and launches it in a separate process. the way it just... finds a terminal and yeets it into existence 😭


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

not me having zero options of my own to list here πŸ™ˆ because:

  • This script forwards all command line options to the evoked terminal application.

that's it. that's the whole thing. every flag you pass gets handed straight to whatever terminal got evoked. so if you wanna know what flags do, ask that terminal, not this script. it's giving middle-manager energy and honestly? we respect it πŸ‘‘
