MTDUMP(1)
π MTDUMP(1) π
okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section of your life, because today we're learning about mtdump β the magtape conversion utility. yes, magtape. like, actual tape. iconic behavior tbh π
β¨ NAME β¨
mtdump β magtape conversion utility π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
mtdump
that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, no drama. just mtdump, standing there, serving looks π
π« DESCRIPTION π«
so this manual page documents briefly the mtdump command. and when I say briefly, I mean it's giving "we're gonna be quick about this." π
here's the tea tho π« β this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. not a single one. the audacity, honestly. instead, it has documentation in various text files, so likeβ¦ see below. the info is there, it's just not in manpage format. it's giving "not like other girls" energy fr fr.
π OPTIONS π
- For a complete description, see the text file.
yes bestie, that is genuinely the whole options section. the manpage is basically pointing at another document and going "ask her, not me" π
π SEE ALSO π
the program is documented fully by:
/usr/share/doc/simh/mtdump.txt
go read that. that's where the real main character energy lives 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 you're invited to the party, no cap π₯³
okay that's the whole page, you ate that fr π
β¨ and just so you know β this was the General Commands Manual version of MTDUMP(1), and it's stamped Feburary 19, 2003 (yes, that's the spelling, we're keeping it exactly, no edits, periodt π). love that for us. bye bestie! ππ¦πΈ
