๐ monopd(6) โ games section, bestie ๐
okay so you found the man page for monopd, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. it's filed under the games section of the manual, and no cap, it's a whole vibe.
โจ NAME โจ
monopd โ a Monopolyโข like game server. yep, that's the whole name section. short, sweet, iconic. ๐
๐ SYNOPSIS ๐
monopd
that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, no drama. you just run it and it goes. main character energy fr fr. ๐
๐ฆ DESCRIPTION ๐ฆ
so monopd is a dedicated game server daemon for playing Monopoly-like board games, like GtkAtlantic. ๐ฒ
clients connect to the server and they chat back and forth using short commands and XML messages. that's the whole communication situation โ commands and XML, serving looks. ๐
lowkey important: it's a daemon, so it's out here doing its thing in the background, holding down the board game lobby while everybody else plays. ๐ซถ
๐ธ OPTIONS ๐ธ
bestie. there are none. like, genuinely.
- There are no further options. ๐
no flags to memorize, no --help rabbit hole to fall down. it's giving minimalist. it's giving "I woke up like this." โจ
๐ SEE ALSO ๐
hmm, the original didn't give us any SEE ALSO refs, so... nothing to link, bestie. the page is a solo act and it's thriving. ๐ญ๐
๐ no warnings, no bug notes, no exit statuses, no env vars โ the original page keeps it that clean, and I'm not about to invent lore that isn't there. that would be a crime. ๐
and that's the whole page!! this manual page is from monopd, dated March 2014 โ so yeah, it's been out here being iconic since 2014 and it still ate. ๐๐ฆโจ periodt. ๐
