GAV(6)
π GAV(6) β Games Manual π
okay bestie, so you found the gav page in the Games Manual section of the manual β section 6, that's games, iykyk β and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. it's short. it's sweet. it's a whole vibe. let's go πβ¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
gav β a simple graphical 2-player volleyball game ππ
like, that's it. that's the whole name line. a simple graphical 2-player volleyball game. iconic behaviour honestly.
π DESCRIPTION π
So first things first, bestie, this manual page is here to document the gav command briefly. That's the assignment. Brief.
And here's the tea π« β this page was written for the Debian distribution, and the reason is genuinely so real of it: the original program does not have a manual page. So Debian said "fine, I'll do it myself" and wrote one. main character energy fr fr.
Now, what IS gav? It's a small graphical volleyball game, and the whole point of it is that it's made to resemble an old DOS game. Retro. Nostalgic. Lowkey a time capsule. Obsessed. πΉοΈπ
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
okay so listen, these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (that's `-` bestie, two of them, not one). And a summary of the options is included below, which is very thoughtful of them.
And the summary is... π
gavhas no command line arguments at this time.
that's it. that's the list. zero flags. zero arguments. not one single option. it's giving minimalist. it's giving "just run it and play volleyball." and honestly? slay. ππ
no cap, if you were sitting there waiting for a big list of flags to scroll by β she has none. run the binary, play the game, that's the whole pipeline. π
π AUTHOR π
This manual page was written by David Grant <dgrant@ieee.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system β but may be used by others. generous king behaviour, sharing the docs with the whole class. π«ΆπΈ
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
...nope, there isn't one. no SEE ALSO section on this page, bestie. nothing to cross-reference. she stands alone, unbothered, moisturized, in her lane. π
and that's the page!! the whole thing. a tiny volleyball game, a Debian-written manual page, and absolutely zero command line arguments to worry about. go forth and play. ππβ¨
and before I go β this was <strong>Games Manual</strong> for <strong>GAV(6)</strong>, dated <strong>February 12, 2003</strong>, so like... a vintage. a classic. respect the elders. bye bestie ππ¦π
