PTERM(1)

💅 PTERM — like, the manual page, bestie 💅

okay so this is pterm from the PMIx Reference Run Time Environment (you can just call it PRRTE, we're close like that 🫶). Section 1, general commands, the whole vibe. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pterm — terminate an instance of the PRRTE DVM. that's it. that's the whole job. she ends things 💀

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

shell$ pterm ...options...

yes bestie, that's literally it, you just run it with whatever options your heart desires and the ...options... is doing a lot of heavy lifting there 🙈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so, pterm does one iconic thing and she does it well: she terminates an instance of the PMIx Reference Runtime Environment (PRRTE) distributed virtual machine (DVM). DVM said it's leaving the group chat. periodt. 💅

if you want the extensive help documentation for this command, it's all available through:

pterm --help [topic]

like, the full lore is in there. that's where it lives. 🦋

ngl bestie, at least for now, that content is not available in man page form. so what you're reading right now? cute but incomplete. the real info is behind --help.

and here's the part where the man page literally begs: pull requests to add all the content (via repeatable infrastructure) would be greatly appreciated. 🥺 so if you're a dev with main character energy and you want to be the one who finally writes this all down properly — that's your moment. go off. 👑
