💖 QBREW(1) — the manual page bestie 💖

okay so you found the qbrew man page, and honestly? iconic. this is from the General Commands Manual section (that's section 1, the one for actual runnable commands, iykyk), and it's about to be your new fave.

🌸 NAME 🌸

qbrew — homebrewer's recipe calculator (uses Qt) 🍺✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

qbrew [options] file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents the qbrew command briefly — like, the sparknotes version. and here's the tea: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. nope. instead, it has documentation in html format that you can view from within the program itself. so like, the docs are living inside the app. very self-contained of it.

now, what IS qbrew? it's a recipe calculator for homebrewed beers. 🍻 not just managing your existing recipes, bestie — it also has facilities for creating new beer recipes. and it uses Qt for its graphical user interface. so it's pretty, it's clickable, it's giving GUI main character energy. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). and heads up — qbrew also supports the standard options for Qt and the X Window System (think -style, -geometry, -display and others). 👑

in addition to all that, the following options are used:

  • -h, --help — show a summary of options. your little cheat sheet, bestie 🫶
  • -v, --version — show the version of the program. know what you're working with 💜
  • file — start the program and open the specified file. straight to business 🔥
