✨ network-admin — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so bestie, this is the man page for network-admin(1) — it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your manual pages, and it's about to make your whole networking sitch make sense. buckle up 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

network-admin — the Network Administration Tool. that's the whole name, she's simple, she's iconic, she does one thing and she does it 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

network-admin [OPTION...]

that's it. that's the vibe. you run her, you can hand her options, she goes ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so network-admin is part of the GNOME system tools, which is basically a little squad of tools whose entire job is to let you easily get in there and manage your system configuration. no cap. they're the friend group that handles the boring stuff so you don't have to touch config files at 3am 😭

and network-admin specifically? she's the one who lets you specify the way your system connects to other computers and to the Internet. that's her whole thing. connections. the internet. the wires (or the vibes, if it's wifi). she's the main character of your network settings 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --display=DISPLAY — tells her which X display to use. like, this is the screen we're doing this on, bestie 🖥️

network-admin also accepts the standard GNOME and GTK options. those are the house rules, she's not special about it, she just respects them ✨
