PLAYBUCKET(1)

📦 version 1.9.5, in fedora 43, fedora 44

🎀 PLAYBUCKET — like, the manual, but make it make sense 🎀

ok bestie so this is playbucket, a lil program from the General Commands Manual section of your Unix system. she plays buckets. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

playbucket — plays the bucket corresponding to the specified file 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

playbucket [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] filename

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ the playbucket program plays the bucket that corresponds to the file you hand it. like, you point at a file, and it goes and plays that file's bucket. iconic behavior honestly.

and if there's no corresponding bucket?? she doesn't panic, she doesn't cry, she just creates one. main character energy fr fr 💅

one more thing — playbucket sets its close down mode to AuCloseDownRetainPermanent so the bucket is retained. so like, she's not letting that bucket go anywhere. it stays. periodt. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here are the options you can use with playbucket, bestie, there are exactly two, we love a short list:

  • -audio servername — this one tells playbucket which audio server she should connect to. like, "hey girl, go talk to this server." specify the servername and that's where she's headed 🎧
  • -volume 0-100 — this sets the volume the data gets played at, expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible volume. so like, 0 is silence and 100 is full send. the default is 100 percent 🔥 (yes, she starts at max volume. as she should.)
