RAIN(1)

📦 version 1.053, in alpine 3.24

🌧️ NAME 🌧️

okay bestie, welcome to RAIN(1) — the manual page for rain, which literally just... lets it rain 💖 that's it. that's the whole thing. "Let it rain" is the entire name-description and honestly? iconic. no notes. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rain

that's the whole synopsis. one word. no flags, no args, no paths, no nothing. she said "I contain multitudes" and then contained exactly one (1) word 🎀

💧 DESCRIPTION 💧

so like — rain simulates rain. 🌧️💜 that's it. that's the description. it makes rain happen, digitally, on your computer, for you. main character energy fr fr. not me being obsessed with a program whose entire job is vibes 😭

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

okay so here's the thing, bestie — rain does not accept options. like, at all. zero. none. don't even try it. she's not taking suggestions today 💅 (this is not me being mean, this is literally what the manpage says, I'm just delivering the news with love 🫶)

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

the working of rain is not influenced by any environment variables. ngl that's such a clean boundary. no $HOME drama, no $PATH chaos, no env var pulling up in her mentions. she simply does not check. unbothered. thriving. 🌸🦋

💀 BUGS 💀

rain does not have any known bugs. 🔥 not a single one. she's flawless, she's booked, she's busy, she's perfect. (jk jk — but fr fr that's what the page says, and I'm not gonna invent problems that aren't there 🙈)

so yeah, that's rain. she rains, she doesn't take options, she doesn't read your env vars, she has no bugs, and she's been out here being generous since 1999. we love a low-maintenance legend. 🌧️💜✨

ngl the whole vibe check here is "just run it and let it rain" — that's genuinely the entire program, no cap 🍓
