✨ mtt(1) — the teletext browser that's literally serving looks ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to mtt(1), the teletext browser for X11 and the console. yes, both. she's versatile like that 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtt — a teletext browser for X11 and console. that's it, that's the girl 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mtt [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, mtt is a browser for teletext pages. iconic, i know.

here's the vibe check on how she shows up: if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, mtt will come up with the X11 GUI (motif, vintage queen), otherwise she'll use the tty she was started from. no DISPLAY, no problem, she just adapts. main character energy fr fr 😌

✨ OPTIONS ✨

mtt understands the usual toolkit options (-geometry + friends). and then there's these extra ones, bestie:

  • -help — prints the help text. baby's first --help, we love to see it 💖
  • -debug — turns on debug messages. for when you need her to overshare 🔍
  • -device <dev> — the vbi device. default is /dev/vbi0 🎀
  • -tty — forces console mode. no GUI, just vibes 💀
