✨ wgoto(1) — the manual, but make it cute ✨

General Commands Manual 💅 bestie edition

wgoto — search for an address and then move to it, like a little GPS for your text 🦋

wgoto [-v] address

-v — the moment this option shows up, wgoto prints its version number and its date, then dips out (exits). That's it, that's the whole job 💖

okay so first things first, bestie: wgoto must be able to connect to a running wily(1). No wily, no vibes, no go. 😭

Then it searches for address, which has to be a wily(1) address. Like, that's non-negotiable — it's giving "must be a wily address or nothing."

And if the search actually works out? 🎉 dot is set. Slay. 👑

wgoto returns zero if it managed to find the address, and non-zero if it didn't. Simple as, fr fr.

Say you wanna find the superuser entry in /etc/passwd — iconic file, iconic search:

wgoto '/etc/passwd:/^root:/'

lowkey a whole manual page, highkey a love letter to text navigation 🧚

1R1.1L1 of 1D1 — that's the version/date energy riding along at the bottom, and honestly? periodt. 💜
