MAGICFILTERCONFIG(8)

✨ MAGICFILTERCONFIG(8) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to magicfilterconfig — it's a System Manager's Manual situation and it lives in section 8, right there next to all the other big-kid sysadmin tools 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

magicfilterconfig — writes interactively a printcap file. yes, interactively. it talks to you. it asks. you answer. it's giving ✨collaboration✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

magicfilterconfig [--force] [printcap]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so magicfilterconfig interactively writes a printcap file — either the one you handed it as an argument, or /etc/printcap if you didn't bother 💖

and here's the part where it's lowkey a whole gentleman about it: magicfilterconfig does not overwrite an existing printcap file, unless you gave it the --force switch. why? because it just assumes that an existing file was handcrafted and is therefore correct 🥹 the audacity, the respect, the main character energy

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• --force — overwrite an existing printcap file. that's it. that's the whole option. it's the "i said what i said" flag 🔥

🍓 FILES 🍓

• /etc/printcap
• /etc/printcap.orig
