💖 COMEDI_TEST 💖

okay bestie, so like — this is the manual page for comedi_test, a lil program whose whole entire job is testing comedilib. That's it. That's the vibe. It's a test program and it is serving cunt doing so. 🎀

ngl this page is a little iconic for one specific reason: it exists because the original program doesn't have a manual page at all. So somebody from the Debian side of the world was like "not on my watch" and wrote one. And that's the one you're reading right now, fr fr. 😭✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

comedi_test [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So, real talk: this manual page documents briefly what the comedi_test command is about. It was written specifically for the Debian distribution, since the original program ships with no manual page whatsoever — which, lowkey, is a tragedy, and this page is the fix. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, which means long options start with two dashes (-). A summary of the options is included below, because of course it is, we're not gonna leave you hanging. 💅

  • -f <device_file> or --device <device_file> — use device <device_file>. The default one is /dev/comedi0. 📁
  • -S <arg> or --save-file <arg> — save calibration file. Bestie, we're saving it. 💾
  • --help — show help and exit. Our fave. The "I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it politely" flag. 🫶

🌈 AUTHOR 🌈

This manual page was written by Gudjon I. Gudjonsson <gudjon@gudjon.org>, for the Debian project — but may be used by others. Iconic of them honestly. Giving freely, no gatekeeping. 💜

So like, that's the whole page. Go forth, test that comedilib, slay. 🧚
