🦋 ZUTTY(1) — the manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so you want to know about zutty? bestie, you came to the right place. this is the manual page for the zutty program, and yes we're doing the whole thing, every flag, no skips, periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

zutty — efficient, full-featured X11 terminal emulator. it's giving main character energy in your window manager. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so, this manual page documents briefly the zutty program. that's the vibe.

This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. not me writing docs for a program that forgot to write its own 😭 iconic behaviour fr fr.

zutty is a terminal emulator for the X Window System, functionally similar to several other X terminal emulators such as xterm, rxvt and more. It is also similar to other, much more modern, GPU-accelerated terminal emulators. so basically: old-school energy on the outside, new-school glow-up on the inside. slay. 🔥

⭐ SYNOPSYS ⭐
