💅 TINYPCMINFO(1) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to tinypcminfo, part of the TinyALSA fam 🎀 — this is the little tool that prints the hardware parameters of a PCM. yes, THE parameters. the hardware ones. iykyk ✨

✨ NAME ✨

tinypcminfo — prints the hardware parameters of a PCM. literally that's the whole job and she does it slayfully 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

tinypcminfo [ options ]

that's it. no drama, no extra args, just vibes and options 🌸

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so tinypcminfo prints the hardware parameters of a PCM, and you tell it which PCM you want by handing it its card and device number 🫶 (yes, the original manpage says "it's" with an apostrophe, we're keeping that energy, it's iconic — no cap).

tl;dr: you point at a card + device, it spills the hardware tea ☕✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -D card — card number of the PCM. the default is 0. yes queen, zero is the default 🌟
  • -d device — device number of the PCM. the default is 0. also zero, she's consistent 💅
ok so like, note the case bestie: capital -D is the card, lowercase -d is the device. do not mix them up, that's the whole vibe check right there 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  • tinypcminfo prints hardware parameters for the PCM of card 0 and device 0. the classic. the default. the main character ✨
  • tinypcminfo -D 1 prints hardware parameters for the PCM of card 1 and device 0. card got an upgrade, device stayed home 🎀
  • tinypcminfo -d 1 prints hardware parameters for the PCM of card 0 and device 1. card stayed home, device went out 🦋
  • tinypcminfo -D 1 -d 1 prints hardware parameters for the PCM of card 1 and device 1. both of them, together, matching outfits 🔥
