EMACSPEAKCONFIG(8)

💖 EMACSPEAKCONFIG 💖

okay bestie, listen — this is the emacspeakconfig(8) page from the System Manager's Manual section, and it's a little one but she's important, so let's give her the attention she deserves 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

emacspeakconfig — configure emacspeak 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/usr/sbin/emacspeakconfig [ -i ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one script, one flag, no cap 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — this script writes stuff down in /etc/emacspeak.conf. Specifically, it records three things, and all three of them matter:

• the type of text to speech device you've got 👑
• the device (port) where it's plugged in / connected 🔌
• the name of the speech server used to access it 🌸

so like, it's the little matchmaker that introduces your machine to your voice hardware and writes the receipts into /etc/emacspeak.conf. iconic behaviour, honestly 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -i — Initial configuration. The way this works: if /etc/emacspeakconfig exists and it already has all the required entries, then she leaves it unchanged and asks you no questions. silence. peace. no interrogation 😌✨ The default behaviour — i.e. when you don't pass -i — is to ask regardless. so you will be questioned. thoroughly. bestie, you will be interviewed 💀

ngl, notice how the description is about /etc/emacspeak.conf but the -i option checks /etc/emacspeakconfig — that's literally what the page says, so I'm just relaying it to you fr fr, don't @ me 🙈

mwah 💋 that's the whole page, and lowkey she ate. this manual page is from the System Manager's Manual, dated February 13, 1998, and it lives under the section name EMACSPEAKCONFIG(8) — yes she's a little vintage, and yes that makes her even more iconic. periodt. 🌈⭐
