โจ tetrinetx(6) โจ โ the Games Manual page, but make it cute
okay bestie, so this is tetrinetx from the Games Manual (section 6, we're so fancy). Sit down, grab a snack, we're learning about a whole Tetris-adjacent server situation. ๐
๐ธ NAME ๐ธ
tetrinetx โ a TetriNET server. that's it, that's the whole name section, but it's iconic honestly ๐
๐ฆ SYNOPSIS ๐ฆ
tetrinetx
no flags, no args, no drama. just vibes and the program name. periodt. ๐
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
so this manual page is here to document the tetrinetx command briefly. like, briefly briefly. and here's the tea: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. so we made one. you're welcome. ๐ซถ
what does tetrinetx actually do? it provides a server for hosting Tetrinet games. ๐ฎ
and what is Tetrinet, you ask? it's a variant of Tetris that you play over the internet. yes, competitive block-dropping with your internet friends. main character energy fr fr.
here's the important number, don't forget it: up to six people may simultaneously connect to a server to participate in a game. six. that's the whole squad. ๐
๐ OPTIONS ๐
this program does not allow any option.
that's right. zero. none. not a single flag. it's giving minimalist, it's giving "I don't need options, I am the option." you just run it. slay. ๐โจ
๐ AUTHOR ๐
this manual page was written by Julien Danjou <acid@debian.org>, for the Debian project โ but bestie, it may be used by others too. sharing is caring, no gatekeeping here. ๐ฅ
heads up: that's genuinely every single thing this manpage contains. no hidden flags, no secret environment variables, no exit statuses. just a server, a game, and six friends max. iykyk. ๐
and that's a wrap on the tetrinetx(6) page from the Games Manual! ๐ recorded way back in September 2004 and still living in our hearts (and our manpage databases). bye bestie, go drop some blocks ๐งโโ๏ธโญ
