✨ PDP9(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the pdp9 manual page 💖 this is the General Commands Manual version, and it's literally about to teach you the whole vibe of the pdp9 command in like, thirty seconds. buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

pdp9 — simulate a pdp9 computer 🖥️✨

no cap, that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pdp9

that's it. that's the whole thing. just run pdp9. main character energy fr fr 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this manual page documents briefly the pdp9 command — like, the quick little summary version, not the whole novel. 📖

and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page of its own. 😭 instead, it has documentation in various text files — see below, bestie, I got you. 👇

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

ngl, this section is keeping it mysterious:

  • for a complete description, see the text files 📄

that's the whole options section. I know. I know. but I'm not out here inventing flags, so if you want the real details you gotta go read the text files. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the programs are documented fully by these absolute icons right here, all living in /usr/share/doc/simh/:

  • /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

also, all documentation files are registered with the doc-base system 🗂️ so they're all properly filed and cute about it. 🫶

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Vince Mulhollon <vlm@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but like, it may be used by others too, so it's generous like that. 💖

💀 lowkey important: this page is the short version only. the full documentation lives in those PDFs up there. don't come for me, come for the text files. 🙈

April 14, 2007 — yeah, this page is a certified vintage, from the PDP9(1) era, and it ate. periodt. 💅🌸✨
