MMH(1mh)

πŸ’– MMH β€” like, the mmh manual page, bestie πŸ’–

okay so this is the page for mmh from the mmh-0.4 era, and it's literally the "welcome to your new life" command. buckle up πŸŽ€

✨ NAME ✨

mmh β€” initialize the mmh environment πŸ¦‹

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mmh [-check] [-Version] [-help]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, the mmh command does the whole initial setup thing for a first-time mmh user. it's giving "first day of school but make it mail" πŸ’…

(and if you want the actual intro to the mmh system as a whole, go read mmh-intro(7), iykyk 🫢)

here's the order of operations, no cap:

  1. first, the mmh directory $HOME/.mmh gets created. boom, it exists now ✨
  2. then you get asked to name a directory that'll be designated as your mail storage. if that directory doesn't exist yet, you get asked whether it should be created. normally this directory should be under your home directory β€” like, that's the vibe. the default is $HOME/Mail πŸ“
  3. afterwards, mmh writes an initial $HOME/.mmh/profile for you, containing only the path to the mail storage. if the profile is already there, you get asked to edit it. not me being polite about it 😭

also the -c option can be used to check whether or not mmh has been installed. this is for other programs to use so they can check without having any knowledge about the internals of mmh. icon behavior, honestly πŸ‘‘

heads up: the synopsis up top says -check, and the description down here says -c. that's just how the page is, bestie. both facts stay πŸ’€
