πŸ’– SGIDISPATCH πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to sgidispatch β€” that's the IRAF era, one of those lil command pages that does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

sgidispatch β€” execute named sgi translator [IRAF] πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sgidispatch translator [args]

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

ok so here's the vibe: sgidispatch goes and figures out the pathname to the executable for the named SGI translator, and then β€” plot twist β€” it executes that translator. no cap. πŸ‘‘

and like, it doesn't just run it and dip. it passes all the command line arguments straight to the child process, and the child also inherits stdin, stdout, and stderr. so the child is literally living its main character life with the whole family heirloom set. 🫢✨
