💖 WMCPULOAD(1) — the general commands manual bestie 💖

okay so this is the manual for wmcpuload, a little dockapp situation, and honestly? she's iconic. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wmcpuload — a dockapp to display CPU usage 💻🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wmcpuload [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk, this manual page documents the wmcpuload command briefly. And just so we're clear — this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. 📝

WMCPULoad is a dockapp, and dockapps are supported by X window managers like Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. she's giving main character energy in your dock, no cap.

so what does she actually do? she displays the current CPU usage — expressed as a percentile and a chart 📊 — and she's got an LCD look-alike user interface. the vibe is immaculate.

the back-light can be turned on/off by clicking the mouse button over the application. yes bestie, just click her. 💅

and here's the part that's lowkey the most important: if the CPU usage hits a certain threshold, an alarm-mode will alert you by turning on the back-light. so she literally lights up when things get spicy. 😭🔥
