okay bestie, so this is the man page for ng_vol, from the General Commands Manual corner of the universe π it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "the upstream devs simply did not write docs so Debian had to do it themselves" energy. let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
ng_vol β Netgen (nglib) Testing π§ͺβ¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
ng_vol [OPTIONS...] [filename]
that's it. that's the whole vibe. an optional pile of OPTIONS... and an optional filename, and honestly the double space before [filename] is iconic, we respect it π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so real talk: this manual page documents briefly the ng_vol and bar commands. yes, bar. no, we don't know either. it's in the original, it stays in the rewrite, that's the rules bestie π
why does this page even exist? because this manual page was written for the Debian distribution β the original program doesn't ship a manual page of its own. so Debian said "fine, I'll do it myself" and honestly? main character energy π
ng_vol is a testing utility for nglib. that's the whole job description. it tests. it's a utility. it's for nglib. slay π«Ά

no cap, that URL is doing a lot of heavy lifting here β go look at it if you want the actual details, because this page is, and I quote, brief π
π AUTHOR π
this manual page was written by Christophe Trophime <christophe.trophime@grenoble.cnrs.fr> for the Debian system (but may be used by others). yes, "but may be used by others" β generous queen behavior, we love to see it π

on Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License can be found in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL β that's the whole GPL, in a file, right there, go read it if you're a licensing girlie π
and that's the entire page!! no options section, no exit statuses, no environment variables, no SEE ALSO β just vibes, a testing utility, a mysterious bar, and a license. this came from the General Commands Manual and the footer said NETGEN(1), so that's the whole identity: NETGEN, section 1, and nothing else β
kisses, go test your nglib stuff π ππ¦
