VIEW-OS(1)

✨ VIEW-OS(1) — the um_add_service manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about um_add_service from the View-OS manual (section 1, general commands, iykyk) 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

um_add_service — add a service module to umview

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it adds a service module. slay.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

um_add_service [-p ] service_module [ , module_options ]

yes, that space inside the brackets is real, don't come for me, I copy things exactly 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this command adds a service module to umview. that's the whole main character move.

the way these modules work?? they get loaded as shared libraries, which means all the rules for loading libraries apply. every single one. no exceptions, no shortcuts, periodt.

so if you wanna load a module, it has to come from one of these two places:

• a directory that's inside the ld.so search path 👑
• or you specify it by its pathname, like a girlboss who knows exactly where she's going

and if you need to, go ahead and configure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable appropriately. it's giving "set it up so it actually works" energy. do that. 🙈

now, the module_options? those are module specific configuration options. meaning I literally cannot tell you what they do, because every module has its own whole personality. the reader (that's you, bestie) should refer to each service module manual for a complete description. go read those. fr fr. 📚

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -p — the module becomes permanent when set. so it sticks around. it's not leaving. iconic behavior honestly ✨
