variant(1)

💅 variant(1) — the little helper that flips your binary, bestie

okay so quick vibe check: this page is variant(1), and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of the Unix world. she's short, she's sweet, she's iconic, and she does exactly one (1) job. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

variant — switch the active binary variant. that's it. that's the whole personality. she's the little gremlin voxtype configure calls up through pkexec whenever it needs to swap which variant binary is the main character 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

variant <--to> [-h|--help]

so the shape of it is: you gotta tell her where you're going with --to, and you can ask for help with -h or --help. that's the whole grammar, no cap 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

switch the active binary variant.

and before you're like "wait, who's calling this??" — it's voxtype configure, okay? that's the one running the show. the whole thing goes through pkexec so you get the permission glow-up it needs 🔥

the way this works: voxtype configure is out here doing config things, it needs the active binary variant switched, it hits up variant via pkexec, and variant handles it. teamwork, fr fr 🫶

ngl, that's genuinely all she does. one task, no drama, main character energy only 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --to <NAME> — the variant binary name you're switching to, bestie. that's NAME, the placeholder, which gets filled with the actual binary name. the manpage gives examples like voxtype-avx512 and voxtype-onnx-cuda — those are literally the names, keep them exactly like that 🔥
• -h, --help — print help. both spellings work, pick your fighter 💜

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

nothing listed, bestie — she's a solo act, no entourage 😭✨

---

🎀 so yeah. that's variant(1), from the General Commands Manual, footer reading variant / variant(1) like a little signature at the bottom of the page. one option that matters, one option for help, zero wasted time. go switch that variant, queen 👑💖
