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

okay so bestie, welcome to ppcppc(1) 💖 this is the Free Pascal Compiler manpage, section 1, and yes the name is a whole mouthful — it comes from Portable Pascal Compiler, which is a little retro moment but we respect the heritage 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ppcppc — Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) binary, name derived from Portable Pascal Compiler 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ppcppc [options] [sourcefile]

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this binary right here? it's the back-end binary of the Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) 👑 and FPC is a Turbo Pascal and Delphi (7.0) compatible standalone (non GCC frontend) multitarget Pascal compiler. multitarget, bestie. it compiles for so many platforms. main character energy fr fr ✨

🚨 okay important, listen up: this binary should not be called directly. do not do it. not the move. instead you use the fpc program. it'll pick the right back-end for compiling units for the platforms you asked for. let the compiler drive, babe 🚗💨

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• 📋 for a complete list of all supported command-line options, go look at the fpc(1) manual page. like, all of them. every single flag. it's all over there, this page is not the place 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• fpc(1) — the actual one you should be reading, no cap 💜

okay that's the whole page!! 🎀 version/source situation: this is from Free Pascal, dated 30 may 1999, and it's page ppcppc(1) — yes 1999, she's vintage, she's iconic, she ate and left no crumbs 💅✨ bye bestie, go compile something 🦋🌸
