COREUTILS(1)

πŸ“¦ version 0.12.0, in arch rolling

πŸ‘‘ COREUTILS(1) β€” the General Commands Manual situation

okay so bestie. gather round. this is the manual page for coreutils, and yeah, it's filed under the General Commands Manual (that's the manual name, we're saying it up front because obviously). it's giving "table of contents that ate", because this page is lowkey just a giant doorway into every single coreutils-* page. no cap. πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME

coreutils β€” that's it, that's the name. short. sweet. main character energy. 🌸


✨ SYNOPSIS

coreutils [-h|--help] [subcommands]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION

bestie. not gonna lie to you. the DESCRIPTION section of this page is literally empty. nothing. a void. a blank line in a trench coat. 😭

so like β€” there's no prose to pass on here. what you get instead is the OPTIONS bit and then a genuinely enormous SUBCOMMANDS list, and that's the whole vibe. move along, nothing to read, but we're being honest about it. 🫢


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS

one (1) option. that's the whole menu. she's minimalist.

  • -h, --help β€” prints the help. that's the entire job description. iconic honestly. ⭐

πŸ”₯ SUBCOMMANDS

heads up bestie: that first entry really is written as coreutils-[(1) with test-about under it β€” i didn't mistype it, that's genuinely how it appears. and coreutils-help(1) gets a full sentence description instead of an -about token. we reproduce, we don't "fix". πŸ’€
