💖 SEND2TRASH(1) — the girlies' guide to yeeting files into the void (respectfully) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the send2trash manual page, from the General Commands Manual, section 1. yes we're doing manpage energy but make it cute. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

send2trash — send files to the trash 🗑️✨

like. that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "declutter era" and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

send2trash [options] file...

so you give it some options (optional, no pressure), and then a whole list of *file*… arguments, and it handles the rest. plural files. as many as you want. go off 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents the send2trash command. (yes, this one. the one you're reading. meta, I know 💅)

send2trash is a program that sends the listed files to the trash using the operating system's conventions. no cap — it doesn't just nuke them, it does it the proper way, the way your OS actually expects.

On Linux systems, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. that's the spot. that's where your deleted faves go to chill 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — Show summary of options. aka the "wait what does this do again" button. hit it, get the rundown, no judgment 💖
  • -v, --verbose — Report on deleted files to stdout. so it'll actually tell you which files it sent off to trash jail. perfect if you're the kind of person who needs receipts. and you should be. main character energy means knowing what happened 😭✨

💀 NOTES 💀

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

so yeah — the program itself showed up with no manpage, no lore, no backstory, and the Debian girlies said "not on our watch" and wrote this one. community service, fr fr 🧚💜

that's the whole page bestie, no hidden levels, no secret flags, you're fully caught up. 🌈

with love from the General Commands Manual, dated Jan 2021 — and yeah, the footer normally screams SEND2TRASH(1) at you one more time, so consider this your lil sign-off instead. bye pookie, go trash something responsibly 💅🎀
