💖 TOUCHY(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for touchy, from The Enhanced Machine Controller era — that's LinuxCNC, and we're literally about to get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

axis — TOUCHY LinuxCNC Graphical User Interface

like... yes, the man page is called TOUCHY and the NAME line says axis. that's not a typo, that's just how it is. we don't question the ancestors 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

touchy -ini <INI file>

that's the whole vibe. one command, one INI file, go 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so touchy is one of the Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) for LinuxCNC. it's giving main character energy among the GUIs, ngl.

it gets run by the runscript usually. that's it, that's the lore ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • INI file — okay so the INI file is the main piece of an LinuxCNC configuration. and when I say main piece, I mean it's not the entire configuration, bestie — there are various other files that go with it (NML files, HAL files, TBL files, VAR files). but it is however the most important one, because it's the file that holds the configuration together. iconic behaviour fr fr. it can adjust a lot of parameters itself, but it also tells LinuxCNC which other files to load and use. so it's like the group chat admin of the whole setup 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

much more information about LinuxCNC and HAL is available in the LinuxCNC and HAL User Manuals, found at /usr/share/doc/LinuxCNC/. go read them, iykyk 📚
