PROOFSERV(1)

💖 PROOFSERV 💖

the manual page for proofserv — bestie edition, straight out of the General Commands Manual bestie 📖✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

proofserv — PROOF (aka The Parallel ROOT Facility) 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. PROOF — The Parallel ROOT Facility — is the whole vibe where you analyze trees in parallel on a cluster of computers. multiple machines. at once. it's giving main character energy for your data, no cap 🔥🌳🌳🌳

proofserv(1) is basically the same as the ROOT interactive module root(1), except — and this is the plot twist — it reads its commands from a socket instead of from the terminal. so not you typing, but the network talking. iykyk 💅

and because it's a remote server, it will not do graphics 🚫🖼️, which means it is not linked with any graphics libraries (Motif, X11, etc.). no glow-up for pixels here, she's strictly business 💀

proofserv is started by the daemon proofd(1) when the user requests it. so like — it is not a command to be executed by the user directly. do not just run it yourself bestie, that's not her job 🙈

⚠️ note bestie: if proofserv is passed any arguments, it will use the libProofx interface, rather than the standard libProof interface. different interface, different vibe. remember that 🫶
