WITHIN(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for within(1) — it runs a command in other directories. That’s the whole assignment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

within [-j jobs] directories - command

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So within runs the given command in all the given directories, and it prepends the directory names to the output. Lowkey iconic for keeping track of who said what. ✨

$ within msort trickle - make clean
msort: rm -f *.o msort
trickle: rm -f trickle tritty

When you give it a single directory, the - may be omitted:

$ within code/msort git status
code/msort: nothing to commit, working tree clean

• -j jobs — specifies how many commands may be run simultaneously. The default is 1.

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

It yields 0 if no errors occur and all jobs yield 0, or >0 otherwise. Fr fr, that’s the whole mood.
