MUTE(1)

🎀 MUTE(1) — the lil' script that goes shhh 💅

okay bestie, so this is a LOCAL manual page for mute, and it's genuinely one of the tiniest little icons you'll ever meet. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

mute — use aumix to mute and un-mute sound output 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

This command does not take any command-line arguments.

like, none. zero. it just is. main character energy fr fr 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so mute is a small script that uses aumix to conveniently mute and un-mute sound. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

here's the tea though, it's actually lowkey smart:

• if sound is currently not muted, running mute will save your current settings to ~/.aumixrc (or /etc/aumixrc if you are root) and mute the sound 🔇
• running mute again will restore the settings 🔊

so it's like a little toggle bestie. one run = quiet, second run = your settings come back. the way that it just remembers for you?? obsessed. 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

The current ~/.aumixrc or /etc/aumixrc will be overwritten.

so yeah, it does NOT back up your old file first. it just yanks it. it's giving "no thoughts, head empty, overwrite" 😭 protect your config bestie, fr fr.
