✨ MLCLIENT(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section, page one of mlclient 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

mlclient — client for mlterm

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mlclient [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mlclient(x) is a client for the mlterm(1) server (aka the daemon) 💅

and here's the tea: mlterm(1), which is an X terminal emulator, can be launched as a daemon process that holds multiple sessions — and a session is like a shell process plus other info, like the backlog 👑

what mlclient(x) does is it can create a brand new session, or it can recall an existing session that had been disconnected from a window. literally bringing it back from the void, iconic behavior fr fr ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

mlclient(x) accepts most options of mlterm. for the deets, go read mlterm(1), bestie, it's all in there 📖

the following options do not work for mlclient(x), so don't even try it:

  • -@, --screens
  • -R, --fsrange
  • -Y, --decsp
  • -c, --cp932
  • -i, --xim
  • -j, --daemon
  • --depth
  • --maxptys
  • --keepalive
  • --metaprefix
  • --deffont
not me listing all of those just so you don't get confused later 😭 none of them are gonna work here, periodt.

🌈 mlclient(x)-specific options 🌈

  • -P, --ptylist — prints the pty list 👀
  • --kill — kills an mlterm daemon 💀 (yes, really, that's what it does)

🧚 mlclientx-specific options 🧚

  • --hsep=value — opens a new pty in a horizontally split screen
  • --vsep=value — opens a new pty in a vertically split screen

split screen? we love to see it 🫶
