💖 ttyload — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ttyload(1) ✨ the manual page for ttyload, and yes it lives in section 1 of the manual, and yes the date on it is 2023-08-20 — vintage, iconic, we love a timestamp. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ttyload — console based color-coded graphs of CPU load average. like, it draws your load average in your terminal. in color. it's giving main character energy fr 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ttyload [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no weird args, just options 🎀

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's every single flag, no skips, no cap:

  • -h — show brief help. your little "wait what do I type" bestie 💖
  • -v — show version information. so you know exactly which slay you're running ✨
  • -m — monochrome mode, aka no ANSI escapes. for when your terminal is in its minimal era 🖤
  • -c cols — tell it how many columns wide the screen is. be specific, she listens 👑
  • -r rows — tell it how many rows high the screen is. these two options (-c and -r) override the default behavior of auto-determining screen size, so you're basically taking the wheel 🚗✨
  • -i secs — alter the number of seconds in the interval between refreshes. the default is 4, and the minimum is 1, which is silently clamped. so like, if you ask for 0, she's not gonna yell at you, she's just gonna do 1 🙈

None.

^ that "None." is literally sitting there in the OPTIONS section in the original, so I'm keeping it, periodt. it's part of the lore 🎀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

it displays fairly standard, but hard-coded, ANSI ASCII escape sequences for screen manipulation and colorization for different graphs: the 1 minute, 5 minute, and 15 minute load averages. three graphs, three vibes, all in your terminal 🌸

use C-c to quit. that's your exit door, bestie 🚪💨

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

None.

like genuinely none. no environment variables to worry about. she's low maintenance 💜

🍓 FILES 🍓

None.

no config files, no dotfiles, nothing to accidentally delete. so freeing 🦋

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the whole friend group, honestly 😭 the classics 👑
