✨ AUTHORS ✨

this manual page was adapted from the program usage information by Stephen Kitt <skitt@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others — sharing is caring, we love that for us 💜).

it was last modified for scummvm-tools version 2.0.

💀 real talk: the archive is named after the engine, the engine is named after the Mohawk people, and this manpage is named after... itself, I guess. iconic behaviour. anyway.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀✨ this lil cutie ships as part of scummvm-tools and the doc itself is dated December 9, 2017 — a vintage queen, still serving looks. go build some archives, you absolute legend 👑💖
