MTCVTODD(1)
π MTCVTODD π β the mtcvtodd(1) page, bestie edition
okay so welcome to the group chat, this is the manual for mtcvtodd and it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and yes i am about to make a magtape utility sound cute. no cap. π
β¨ NAME β¨
mtcvtodd β a magtape conversion utility π¦
that's it. that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
mtcvtodd
just the command, bestie. no flags listed here, no arguments listed here, nothing else in the synopsis. she walks in alone. π
π DESCRIPTION π
so, real talk: this manual page documents briefly the mtcvtodd command. briefly!! that's the actual word. this is a lowkey tiny page and i am not gonna pretend otherwise. π
and here's the lore, because it's important: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. so like, we didn't get a page handed down from on high β someone had to write one, and here it is, and we should all be grateful tbh. π«Ά
heads up: this page is deliberately brief, so don't come here expecting a novel about magtape conversion. the page says what it says and nothing more, and that's the vibe check it's passing. β
π AUTHOR π
this manual page was written by Vince Mulhollon <vlm@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system β but, and i quote, it may be used by others. so share the love, it's giving open source generosity. π
π SEE ALSO π
okay so there is genuinely no SEE ALSO section in this page. i looked. i would never gatekeep a cross-reference from you, bestie β there just isn't one. π
and that's the whole thing!! this page is dated March 31, 2002 and it comes from the General Commands Manual, so if you ever need to cite your sources, that's the tea. mwah, go forth and convert those magtapes. πβ¨π
