NIREG(1)
πΈ NIREG β the niReg page, section 1 of the General Commands Manual π
okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about niReg β it lives in section 1 (General Commands Manual) and it is literally the girl who handles the guest list for OpenNI. β¨
β¨ NAME β¨
niReg β register/unregister an OpenNI hardware or middleware driver π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
niReg [FILE]
π DESCRIPTION π
So, the tea: this manual page documents briefly the niReg command. Briefly!! That's the whole vibe of this page, she's not long-winded, she's efficient. π
niReg is a utility for registering and unregistering modules for the OpenNI frameworks. Think of it as the bouncer at the door β either a module is on the list or it is not, and niReg is the one holding the clipboard. π
And she does both flavors of module, no favorites:
- hardware modules β like camera drivers π·
- 'middleware' modules β like the PrimeSense NITE skeleton and gesture tracking module π¦΄
so yeah, hardware girlies and middleware girlies both get registered by the same tool. iconic behaviour fr fr. π

not me reading the credits like it's the end of a movie π shoutout to the authors, they ate and left no crumbs.
and that's the whole page, bestie!! π this came out of the General Commands Manual, source/version NIREG(1), dated June 2011 β so it's vintage, it's archival, it's giving retro tech nostalgia, and honestly? slay. π¦β¨π
