💖 PAUSEME(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to pauseme — the little script from the TkDesk crew that's giving maximum patience energy. Yes, we're doing the classic manpage layout, but make it cute. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pauseme — run a command, then pause afterwards 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pauseme command [ arg ... ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so pauseme is a (very) simple script. like, not even pretending to be complicated. it just executes the command you hand it, using the arguments you hand it too. that's the whole job. 💅

then, once that command is done doing its thing, pauseme shows you a prompt telling you to press return. you press return. it exits. that's it, that's the arc. 🌈

so why does this exist?? because sometimes a command gets invoked in a separate terminal window and it runs and the window just... vanishes before you can read anything. pauseme is here so you can actually examine the output from that command before the whole thing dips. it's giving "wait, let me read that first" energy. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

nope. none. zero. this command takes no options at all. it's an icon of restraint. ✨

go read those too bestie, iykyk 💜
