✨ opentool(1) — GNUstep System Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the opentool page 💅 this is a (1) man page from the GNUstep System Manual, so it's a command-line thingy, and honestly? the plot twist is that you probably don't even need it. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

opentool — the command line tool for starting tools. literally what it says on the tin, no cap. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

opentool [--library-combo=...] tool [arguments...]

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so. the tea. opentool is obsolete. 😭

like, it's giving vintage. it's giving legacy. and the glow-up is this: instead of using opentool, you should make sure that the Tools directories are in your PATH 🛣️ — and once you do that, opentool is not needed anymore. periodt. 💅

bestie if you're here looking for a hot new tool, this is not it, this is the retirement party 🙈
