✨ NAME ✨

okay so the manual name is projid 💖 it's the project name mapping file, bestie. the whole vibe is "which number is which project" 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the /etc/projid file is giving mapping vibes ✨ it connects numeric project identifiers to simple, human readable names. it's kinda like how usernames pair up with uids, so you don't have to memorize random numbers 🧚

the format is literally just this 💅

# comments are hash-prefixed
# ...
cage:10
logfiles:42

lines starting with a hash are comments, so lowkey use them to leave yourself notes 🙈

this file is optional 💀 if a project identifier can't be mapped to a name, it still gets parsed and displayed as a plain numeric value. no drama, just numbers 🔢
