MK-AMD-MAP(8)

📦 version 6.2.0, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 MK-AMD-MAP — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is mk-amd-map from the System Manager's Manual, section 8 (that's the admin-girlies section, iykyk). Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mk-amd-map — she makes database maps for Amd. that's it, that's the job 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mk-amd-map [ -p ] mapname

short. sweet. slays.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: mk-amd-map creates the database maps that get used by the keyed map lookups in amd(8). she reads input from the file you name, and then outputs all of it into a correspondingly named hashed database. like, same name energy, but hashed. iconic behavior honestly.

  • -p — this option prints the map on standard output instead of generating a database. and like, when is that useful? it's usually used to merge continuation lines into one physical line. so all those lil broken-up lines become one big line. chef's kiss 🧚
