💖 MLCC(1) — like, the cutest little configurator, bestie 💖

okay so you know how I always say the manual pages hit different? this one is from the General Commands Manual section and it's literally called mlcc. no cap, it's the whole reason your terminal is gonna look iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mlcc — simple configurator for mlterm

like, that's it. that's the whole job description. simple. humble. serving. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mlcc [options] [arguments]

short, sweet, and it ate. you got options, you got arguments, you got a good time. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

mlcc is a helper to configure mlterm(1) by sending special escape sequences.

and the way it does that?? by sending special escape sequences. that's the whole trick, bestie. it's not editing files behind your back, it's not restarting anything — it's just whispering to your terminal in escape-sequence language and your terminal is like "periodt, heard." 😌

(See https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/doc/en/PROTOCOL) — that's where the whole protocol lives if you're the kind of main character who reads the source. iykyk. 📖✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

only one, and honestly? it's enough. quality over quantity. the way that one option carries the whole page:

  • -h, --help — Show help messages. that's it. that's the option. when you're lost, it's got you. 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

bestie this is the part where it really starts serving. look at these:

mlcc

Show configuration screen. 🎀 just run it bare and boom, the whole config screen is in front of you like a gift. no arguments, no notes, just vibes.

mlcc fg_color blue

Change the value of "fg_color" option to "blue". your foreground color said blue era. we're doing it. 💙

mlcc exec full_reset

Execute "full_reset" command. careful bestie — it's a full reset, it does exactly what it says on the tin. dramatic but honest. 💀

mlcc aafont ISO10646_UCS4_1 Courier

Change font name of "ISO10646_UCS4_1" in aafont configuration to "Courier". yes, that's the full charset name, yes you have to type all of it, no you cannot abbreviate it. the fonts said be specific. 🧚

mlcc color red rgb:ff/00/00

Change RGB of "red" to rgb:ff/00/00. setting your red to literally the reddest red that ever redded. rgb:ff/00/00 is such a slay format, note the slashes not commas, okay? ⭐

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

that's the one. the big one. the terminal itself. go read it too, it's giving lore. 💜

reminder bestie: every single one of those commands is doing real things to your real mlterm. full_reset in particular is not a vibe check, it's a reset. ✨

and that's the whole page, mwah 💅 this one's dated 2018-10-27, from the mlterm crew, and it lives in the General Commands Manual — so when you see MLCC(1) floating around, now you know exactly what's up. go configure something gorgeous, bestie 🎀🌈💖
