PDP4(1)
π PDP4(1) β the pdp4 glow-up π
okay bestie, listen. This is the manual page for pdp4, from the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, the commands girlies). Pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
pdp4 β simulate a pdp4 computer π₯οΈπ«
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
pdp4
That's it. That's the whole thing. No flags, no args, no drama. She just runs. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So this manual page documents briefly the pdp4 command. Like, briefly briefly. It's giving "we did the minimum and we're at peace with that."
The tea β: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Not one. Instead, it has documentation in various text files β and you can find those below, in SEE ALSO. So yeah, the real lore lives in the PDFs, not here. iykyk π
π OPTIONS π
For a complete description, see the text files. That's genuinely what it says, bestie. The options have lore and the lore is elsewhere. π
π SEE ALSO π
The programs are documented fully by these, and when I say fully I mean fully:
/usr/share/doc/simh/simh_doc.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/simh_faq.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/simh_breakpoints.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/pdp18b_doc.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/card_readers_18b.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/architecture18b.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/simh_magtape.pdf/usr/share/doc/simh/simh_swre.pdf
All documentation files are registered with the doc-base system. π
no cap, that's eight whole PDFs of pdp4 knowledge waiting for you. go read them, main character. π«Ά
π AUTHOR π
This manual page was written by Vince Mulhollon <vlm@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system β but may be used by others. Generous icon behavior, honestly. πΈ
and that's the whole page, bestie!! short, sweet, and lowkey mysterious. now go run pdp4 and simulate a whole entire pdp4 computer like the absolute legend you are. periodt. π
