💜 SEE ALSO 💜

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

the output is centered for a 80 columns screen, so it can be used on most display easily, and not found at execution time. (yes bestie, that's what it says, i'm just the messenger 🙈)

alliancebanner: Error: Resulting size bigger than 80 columns not allowed the tool argument must be such that its resulting size isn't wider that 80 culumns. this means, since the character set is proportional, that the longest name to be output is about 8 characters long.
alliancebanner: Error: Character out of [0-9A-Za-z] range the tool parameter has a non allowed character in it. for simplicity purposes, only numbers and letters are accepted.

😭 BUG REPORT 😭

this tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. we need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. fr fr, your girl needs the tea ☕🫶

okay that's the whole page bestie, no cap 🧚💖 this was brought to you by ASIM/LIP6, dated October 1, 1997, and yeah it's still living in the ALCBANNER(1) section, iconic behavior, mwah 💅✨
