okay bestie, so this is the manual page for showq, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section. Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry π, and let's get into it.
πΈ NAME πΈ
showq β a MIDI controlled theatre cue player β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
showq
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so real talk: this manual page is just a lil quickie that documents showq briefly, and here's the tea β it was written for the Debian distribution specifically because the original program does not have a manual page π. So this is literally the only lore we've got. Iconic of Debian honestly π«Ά.
So what is showq? It's a MIDI controlled theatre cue player, and no cap, that's the whole vibe. It can:
- play audio π΅
- trigger MIDI events πΉ
The application can be controlled by midi. And it can play through alsa or through Jack Audio Connection Kit β your choice, both are valid, both are slay π
.
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
listen, this program takes no arguments. none. zero. nothing. it's giving main character who needs no input π.
