💅 PDB_RERES(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading a man page together 🫶

So this is pdb_reres, and it lives in the User Commands section of your manual — that's the little (1) situation in the title, iykyk. Yeah. That's genuinely the whole vibe here. This page is short. Like, suspiciously short. And I'm obsessed with it for that exact reason. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

pdb_reres — literally, and I cannot stress this enough, the manual page for pdb_reres 2.5.1 💖

That's it. That's the name section. No long description of what it does, no "see also", no thirty flags to memorize. Just a girl and her version number. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

Okay so. Deep breath. The entire description section of this man page is this, verbatim:

pdb_reres You provided an invalid residue number: '-help'

...and that is all it says. 😭

Not me reading a man page and getting an error message back instead of documentation. The page for pdb_reres literally describes itself by telling you that the thing you typed was wrong — specifically that you handed it the residue number -help, and -help is not a valid residue number. Bestie, it really isn't. Residue numbers are numbers. -help is a cry for help with a dash in front of it. 🥲

⚠️ real talk though: this is the actual, unedited text of the page. Don't go treating this as documentation of how pdb_reres works, because it isn't — it's the program getting confused and the man page dutifully recording the moment. '-help' is invalid input. That part's true and it matters. 💅

So yeah. If you came here looking for a full breakdown of options and arguments and all that gorgeous technical detail... this page simply does not have it. What it has is chaos, and honestly? It's giving main character energy. 🌈

🎀 a little love letter to whoever maintains this 🎀

Genuinely no notes on the confidence. Ten out of ten for shipping it anyway. Slay, pdb_reres. We support you. 💜

This adorable little page is pdb_reres 2.5.1, dated September 2024, and it's filed under PDB_RERES(1) — mwah, periodt. ✨🦋🌸
