✨ VIGOR(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the general commands manual for vigor — yes that's a 1 in the parentheses, that's the vibe, we're in section one, we're thriving 💅

💖 NAME 💖

vigor — nvi with the evil paperclip

like. that's it. that's the whole name section. nvi. but cursed. iconic 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vigor [-eFRrSsv] [-c cmd] [-t tag] [-w size] [file ...]

okay so you've got your little cluster of single-letter flags — -eFRrSsv — then some flags that actually take a value: -c cmd, -t tag, -w size, and then a whole bunch of file ... because why pick one file when you can have all of them 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so this manual page exists specifically for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, and the reason is lowkey funny: the original program simply does not have a manual page. no cap. so Colin was like "fine, I'll do it myself" 💀

Vigor is a perpetration of the Microsoft Word "Office Assistant" paperclip — yes, that paperclip — and it's built on top of nvi. It was inspired by Pitr of the "User Friendly" comic strip (http://www.userfriendly.org/). main character energy fr fr 🧚

and then, because we're not gonna reinvent the wheel here: for documentation of its command-line options, go see nvi(1). all of them. every flag in that synopsis. that's where the tea is ☕

ngl bestie, if you came here hoping for a full rundown of every flag, the manpage is politely pointing you at nvi(1) — that's not me skipping it, that's genuinely all it says, and I would never make stuff up about flags 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

This manual page was written by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). so generous of him honestly, sharing the whole thing with the rest of us 🍓

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one's from the General Commands Manual, dated January 24, 2000, and it goes out as VIGOR(1) — periodt. now go open a file and let the paperclip judge you 💖✨
