okay and for the credits moment, since you know I'd never leave the girlies uncredited:
this page comes from the SystemTap Tapset Reference, and the manual name it lives under is Device Tapset. 🦋 the version stamp on it says Version (the "Ver" got cut off in the footer, not me being mysterious, that's just how it printed 🙈) and the date is September 2026. so like, future-dated and iconic. ate. 💖
periodt. go extract those major numbers bestie 💅✨
