πŸ’– SHOWQ πŸ’–

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 πŸ“, and let's get into it.


🌸 NAME 🌸

showq β€” a MIDI controlled theatre cue player ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

showq

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

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 😭. So this is literally the only lore we've got. Iconic of Debian honestly 🫢.

So what is showq? It's a MIDI controlled theatre cue player, and no cap, that's the whole vibe. It can:

  • play audio 🎡
  • trigger MIDI events 🎹

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 πŸ’….


✨ OPTIONS ✨

listen, this program takes no arguments. none. zero. nothing. it's giving main character who needs no input πŸ‘‘.
