man(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Profanity XMPP client</pink> man(1) page, and the star of THIS episode is the /beep command 💖 she's little, she's simple, she's iconic.

/beep — the Profanity /beep command.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

fr fr, all she does is flip the terminal bell on or off 👑

When it's on, the bell sounds every time incoming messages land in your lap 🛎️✨

But listen — if your terminal doesn't support sounds, it may try to flash the screen instead 👀 that's her backup plan. not every terminal is a theater kid, yk?

ngl, if your terminal is the silent type, don't be surprised when she goes flash-mode instead of beep-mode. that's just how she is 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

/beep on|off

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• on|off — the moment you've been waiting for 🫶 pass on to enable the terminal bell, or off to disable it. that's it, that's the whole vibe check ⭐

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! go forth and toggle that bell like the main character you are 👑🎀
