💅 wml::sys::bootp4(3) — EN Tools ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the EN Tools manual set, and honestly? it's a lil backstage-pass situation. it's wml::sys::bootp4(3), and it's not here to be typed at — it's here to be quietly iconic in the background. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

wml::sys::bootp4 — WML Bootstrap Code for Pass 4

like... the bootup glue for pass 4. that's the whole vibe. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no synopsis, because this is automatically included by WML on startup.

and yeah, that's genuinely it — there's nothing for you to invoke, no flags to memorize, no $ wml::sys::bootp4 --help moment. WML just pulls it in itself when it boots up. you're not the main character here, this file is. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

it includes some macro definitions to deal with GNU m4 quoting.

that's the job. that's the assignment. GNU m4 quoting is a whole situation (iykyk), and this file drops in the macro definitions that handle it, so you don't have to think about it. lowkey the most helpful thing in the building. 💅

🎀 AUTHORS 🎀

  • Denis Barbier — barbier@engelschall.com

two absolute legends, we stan. 🫶✨

🦋 REQUIRES 🦋

  • P4

yeah. it needs P4. no P4, no party. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

(yes, m4(1) is listed twice. not me editing the manpage, i'm just the messenger bestie 💀 keep both, it's what the page says.)

heads up: this is bootstrap code, not a user command. it's auto-included by WML on startup, so there's literally nothing to run by hand. just let it cook. 🔥

and that's the whole page, bestie!! slay 💖 this came from the EN Tools crew and it's dated 2020-11-29 — a whole little time capsule of m4 quoting excellence. go forth and let WML bootstrap itself. bye!! 🎀🦋✨
