💖 zz — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for zz, a General Commands Manual entry, and honestly? it's giving clipboard royalty. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

zz — zz is the generic clip board program 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zz args

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

zz is the generic clip board program. no cap. it's the clipboard, generic edition.

also check out the edit helper program ezz — they're besties, iykyk. 🫶

the clip board lives at $ZZ (default: $HOME/.zz). so if you don't set $ZZ yourself, it's just chillin' in your home directory as .zz. iconic behaviour fr fr.

this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so yeah, we're the ones who wrote it down 💅

🌈 USAGE 🌈

  • zz — write $ZZ to STDOUT
  • zz files... — copy file(s) into $ZZ
  • zz - — write STDIN to $ZZ
  • ... | zz — write STDIN from pipe to $ZZ
  • zz | ... — write $ZZ to pipe

like, it's a clipboard. it takes stuff, it gives stuff. main character energy. ✨

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

zz does not work across different accounts or hosts. nope. not happening. not across accounts, not across hosts, periodt.

use xx instead. 🫡

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

zz *.txt
ls -l | zz
zz | wc -l
(within mutt:) | zz
(within tin:)  | azz
(within vi:)   :w !zz
(within vi:)   :r !zz

look at her go. every single one of these slays. 🎀
