πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to KPSEREADLINK(1) from the General Commands Manual πŸ’– this is the whole page for kpsereadlink, and its one job is literally print contents of symbolic link. that’s the vibe, that’s the function, periodt.

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

kpsereadlink file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

if file is a symbolic link, kpsereadlink prints its contents (like, what it links to), and exits successfully. slay πŸ’… otherwise? it exits with a failure. not every day is a win.

on systems that do not support symbolic links, kpsereadlink will always fail. no cap, that’s just how it goes on those systems.

πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

kpsereadlink accepts the following options:

  • --help β€” print help message and exit. cute, asks for help, gets it, dips ✨
  • --version β€” print version information and exit. for when you need the receipts, iykyk.
