💖 nice(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the nice(1) page 🎀 — straight out of the General Commands Manual, and yes, it's lowkey one of the most useful little gremlins in your toolbox.

✨ NAME ✨

nice — run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling. With no COMMAND, print the current niceness. Niceness values range from -20 (most favorable to the process) to 19 (least favorable to the process).

no cap, that's the whole vibe of this command: you're telling the scheduler "hey, be nice to me" or "bestie, I'm not the main character right now, let them go first." 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nice [-n|--adjustment] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [COMMAND]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling. With no COMMAND, print the current niceness. Niceness values range from -20 (most favorable to the process) to 19 (least favorable to the process).

so real talk: -20 is giving "I'm the main character, feed me CPU first" energy, and 19 is giving "no worries, I'll wait, take your time, I'm just vibing in the background." ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -n, --adjustment — add N to the niceness (default is 10)
• -h, --help — Print help
• -V, --version — Print version
• [COMMAND]

and that's literally the whole menu, bestie — short, sweet, iconic. 🍓
