WMLONGRUN(1)

💖 WMLONGRUN 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for wmlongrun — it lives in section 1 (General Commands Manual) and it's literally the cutest little dockapp for watching your Crusoe(tm) processor's LongRun(tm) situation. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

wmlongrun — a dockapp that monitors the LongRun(tm) status on Crusoe(tm) processors. it's giving hardware-watch duty and it's iconic for it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wmlongrun [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page documents the wmlongrun command briefly — short and sweet, just like a good text back.

WMLongRun is a program that monitors for LongRun(tm). the way it does that is it displays your current LongRun(tm) settings and status: the frequency, the LongRun(tm) flags (which are either performance or economy), and the performance level, which it expresses as a percentile. so like, a vibe check for your CPU, fr fr 🌸

it's a dockapp — that means a dockable application — and it's supported by X window managers like Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. X window managers stay winning 👑

it has two user interfaces, and honestly both are a moment:

• an LCD look-alike user interface
• an LED interface

and here's the cute part: if you select the LCD interface, the back-light can be turned on and off by clicking the mouse button over the application. that's it. that's the whole interaction. obsessed 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, bestie — meaning long options start with two dashes (-). here's the full summary, no skips, no cuts, we're doing all of them 💖

• -d, --display <string> — attempts to open a window on the named X display. if you don't pass this option, the display specified by the DISPLAY environment variable gets used instead. so like, it'll find a display, it just needs to know which one 🫶
• -bl, --backlight — turns on the back-light. shine bright like a diamond ✨
• -lc, --light-color <color> — sets the back-light color. the default is rgb:6E/C6/3B if you don't specify anything. a little green moment, we love to see it 💚
• -i, --interval <number> — the number of secs between updates. 1 is the default, so it's refreshing every second like it's checking its notifications 🔥
• -cd, --cpuid-device <device> — specifies the Linux CPUID device. the default is '/dev/cpu/0/cpuid' 📁
• -md, --msr-device <device> — specifies the Linux MSR device. the default is '/dev/cpu/0/msr' 📁
• -l, --led — runs the application with the LED interface. switch up the aesthetic, main character energy 🌈
• -h, --help — shows the help text and exits. the "just tell me what to do" button, valid 🙈
• -v, --version — shows the program version and exits. know your era ⭐
• -w, --windowed — runs the application in windowed mode. no docking today, we're free-floating 🦋
• -bw, --broken-wm — activates the broken window manager fix. for when your WM is not serving and needs a little help 💀
