💖 ncneofetch(1) — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie sit DOWN because this is the ncneofetch(1) page and it is literally iconic ✨ it's a page from the ncneofetch manual, section 1, and it's genuinely one of the most unserious ones out there. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ncneofetch — Generate low-effort posts for r/unixporn

no cap, that's the actual official description. the manpage said it, not me 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ncneofetch [-v]

that's it. that's the whole thing. one binary, one optional flag, infinite clout 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does ncneofetch actually do, you ask? it renders an image — typically a distribution logo, y'know, the little ASCII-ish art situation — and then it displays some system information right next to it. your specs, but make it fashion 💅

and here's the tea: it is a blatant ripoff of neofetch(1), except it's built using notcurses(3). the manpage literally uses the words "blatant ripoff." the honesty?? immaculate. we stan a self-aware king 👑

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -v — Increase verbosity. that's the one (1) option, and she's doing great. want more words? press -v. want fewer? don't. main character energy fr fr 💜

🎀 NOTES 🎀

listen, this is the part where you gotta lock in because it's the vibe-check-on-your-terminal section 🔥

for the display to be optimal, you need all of this:

  • a terminal that advertises the rgb terminfo(5) capability, or the environment variable COLORTERM defined to 24bit — and also the terminal actually has to honor RGB escapes, like, genuinely honor them, no fake friends allowed 💀
  • and a good monospaced font that supports the Unicode Block Drawing Characters

so basically: pretty colors + the box-drawing glyphs. if your font doesn't have the block drawing characters, the whole thing is giving scrambled eggs 😭 get yourself a good mono font, bestie, it's a glow-up 🧚
