💖 lyskom(5) — the LysKOM database format, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this one's a File Formats Manual page for lyskom(5), and it is genuinely tiny but it's also kinda iconic for that. sit with me, we're gonna get through it in like two sips of your iced coffee 🧚✨

✨ NAME ✨

lyskom — the LysKOM database format 👑 no cap, that's the whole name section, she's brief and she knows it 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tea is: the LysKOM database lives in a couple of files 🍓 like, that's it, that's the format. multiple files, chilling together, holding the whole database. lowkey obsessed with how unbothered this description is 😭💜

ngl bestie, this page is a pointer, not the whole saga. it tells you the format exists, not how it works. don't come for me, come for the Texinfo manual below 👇

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

want the full lore? the complete documentation is in the Texinfo manual "lyskomd Database Format Specification" 💖 and you can find it in info format as lyskomdb.info 📖✨

like, that's where the actual details live. this manpage is the little "be there or be square" note on the fridge, and that manual is the whole party 🎀

that's the whole page, she's short, she's sweet, she's giving minimalism 🫶 go read lyskomdb.info if you want the full main character energy ⭐

mwah 💋 this was lyskom(5) from the File Formats Manual, dated April 3, 1999 — yes, 1999, she's vintage, she's a classic, we stan a legacy queen 👑💜
