okay so real talk, this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's giving minimalist icon. like, the man page walked in, served absolutely nothing, and somehow still ate. let's go through it together because there is truly so little here that you will not believe it 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

GO::Parsers::locuslink_parser — Parser for LocusLink

that's it. that's the whole name section. one line, no notes, no extra qualifiers, no nothing. it parses LocusLink, bestie, and it said what it said 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so… the SYNOPSIS section exists. the heading is there. the heading is all that is there.

no usage line. no invocation example. no use statement. no arguments. it is a heading followed by absolutely silence 🦋

ngl this is highkey iconic of it — the synopsis is the void, and the void is the synopsis. that's the synopsis. periodt.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

and the DESCRIPTION? yeah. same energy. the section header is present and there is no prose underneath it whatsoever.

so what we know about what this thing does, fr fr:

  • it's a parser 🎀
  • it's for LocusLink 💖
  • it's named GO::Parsers::locuslink_parser ⭐

that's genuinely the whole entire content of this manual page. no options, no flags, no arguments, no environment variables, no file paths, no exit statuses, no signals, no errors, no examples, no warnings, no bug notes, no author, no copyright, no license, no SEE ALSO. not one single one. it's just vibes and a title 💀

lowkey important: because the SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION are empty, this page does not tell you how to call it, what it returns, or what any of its behaviour is. if you need that, you are going to have to go look at the actual source, bestie. the man page is not gonna carry you here 🙈

🫶 a lil sign-off 🫶

this absolute legend of a page shipped as part of perl v5.36.0, dated 2023-12-18 — and yes, that's the whole footnote, so we're keeping the receipts 👑

anyway. short king of a man page. we love her, we respect her, she gave us one whole sentence and a whole lot of empty headings. slay, I guess 🌈✨
