rxvt-unicode(1)
π rxvt-unicode β the manual page, bestie edition π
okay so you opened the General Commands Manual for rxvt-unicode and honestly? you're in the right place. this is the whole thing, no skips, no cuts. let's go π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
urxvtcd β start a urxvtc and/or urxvtd π«Ά
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
urxvtcd [options]
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so the tea is: urxvtcd is a script, right? and what it does is lowkey iconic β it peeks to see if urxvtd(1) is already running, and if it's not, it goes ahead and starts it for you. automatic. no cap. β¨
and then β then β it runs urxvtc(1) with whatever arguments you handed it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "personal assistant who handles the background stuff so you don't have to". main character energy for real π
π OPTIONS π
bestie there are literally no options of its own here, and that's the point:
- every single option β all options are passed to
urxvtc(1)as-is. no filtering, no meddling, no "not me, I'm gonna reinterpret this flag". you give it args, it forwards them. periodt. π
so like, if you're looking for what a flag actually does, you're in the wrong page, babe β go read urxvtc(1). this script is just the relay. π§
