✨ NAME ✨

nabi — an X Input Method Server for Korean text input 🎀

okay so real quick, this is the manual page for nabi, and yes bestie it's nabi(1), section one, we're in the big leagues 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nabi [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it some options, slay 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so first thing you gotta know: this manual page is a brief little doc for the nabi command. Just the highlights, the sparknotes, the little summary. Not the whole novel 💀

And second thing, and this is lowkey important: this manual page was written specifically for the Debian distribution, because the original program just... doesn't have a manual page. Not one. Nothing. So a human had to step up and write one, and that human ate. periodt 🍓

So what is nabi? It's an X Input Method (XIM) server for Korean text (Hangul) input. Translation: it's the thing that lets you type Hangul into X applications, and it's doing the most so you can do the least ✨

Oh and also? It shows the status of the "imhangul" GTK+ input module in the notification area. So you get a lil status buddy chillin' in your system tray, keeping you posted. main character energy fr fr 👑

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -s, --status-only — nabi does NOT be an input method here. It's just gonna display the Hangul input status over in the system tray. Like, it's still there, it's still cute, it's just not doing the typing thing. Vibes only 🫶
  • --sm-client-id=ID — this one specifies the session management ID. And heads up bestie: this option is for session manager software, not for you, a human, typing. Don't touch it unless you're a session manager, iykyk 😭
  • --xim-name=NAME — specifies the name of nabi's XIM service. And when you don't specify it? It's just "nabi". Very on brand, very consistent, we love her. This one is useful for debugging 🔥
  • -d LEVEL — sets the debugging verborsity level. (Yes, LEVEL is the value you give it.) Crank it up if you want to see more of the inner monologue 💀
