MTCVTFIX(1)
π MTCVTFIX(1) π
the magtape conversion utility β and yes bestie, it's in the General Commands Manual section, aka section 1 π
β¨ NAME β¨
mtcvtfix β magtape conversion utility π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
mtcvtfix
periodt, that's the whole synopsis π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so real talk, this page is just a brief little rundown of the mtcvtfix command β like the sparknotes version, not the whole novel πβ¨
fun fact: this manual page exists because the original program does not have a manual page. not even one. so the Debian girlies said fine, we'll write it ourselves, and here we are π«Ά
so what does the program actually do? it fixes a SIMH magtape containing a misread EOF. that's the vibe. that's the whole job. she's a specialist, she has one task, and she ate π₯
usage is literally just:
Usage: mtcvtfix filename
so you hand her a filename and she goes to work π« (no flags, no options, no drama β iconic minimalism honestly π)
π AUTHOR π
this manual page was written by Vince Mulhollon <vlm@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system β but lowkey it may be used by others too, so go off ππ
ngl there's nothing else in here bestie, no options, no env vars, no exit statuses. she's a short page and she knows it π
β©β§βΛ mwah, that's the whole page, dated February 25, 2003 β general commands manual energy, and it still slays β©β§βΛ π§π
