💖 SCREENTEST(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing CRT monitor lore today 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

screentest — a lil utility for testing the quality of CRT screens, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

screentest

that's it. that's the whole invocation. she's low maintenance 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what does she do? she displays various patterns on your screen so you can estimate the quality of your CRT monitor 👑 literally a vibe check for your cathode ray tube, and honestly? iconic.

You can add new test modes too — the way that you'd do that is covered in the /usr/share/doc/screentest/NEW_TESTS file, so go read that if you're feeling main character energy ✨

little fun fact fr fr: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. not a single one. we had to do it ourselves 😭

This manual page was written by Rafal Zawadzki <bluszcz@ats.com.pl>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system — but may be used by others 💜 (generous queen behavior honestly).

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 💅✨ this lil writeup is from the General Commands Manual and it's dated September 21, 2002, so yeah she's vintage but she still slays 🌈🎀 bye bestie, go stare at some test patterns 💖
