NVTVD(8)

📦 version 0.4.7, in ubuntu jammy

💖 NVTVD 💖

okay bestie, so this is the nvtvd page from section 8 of the system commands manual — yeah, the big-girl section, the one for daemons and admin stuff 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvtvd — the backend server that controls your TV output hardware 📺✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So, nvtvd is a daemon — like, it just chills in the background doing its thing — and what it does is access the TV output hardware. The way it gets bossed around is by nvtv, which talks to it through two pipes 🎀

Why would you even need this? Okay so, if the user can't get root rights to start nvtv, this daemon is the move. It's giving "let someone else hold the keys" energy, and honestly? Iconic 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — prints the help message, for when you're like "wait what do these do again" 🫶
  • -N, --nvdev — turns on usage of the /dev/nv* devices 💻
  • -n, --null — uses the null backend, which is for debugging 🐛
  • -d, --debug — don't detach from the controlling terminal, so it stays right there with you 👀
  • -q, --quiet — no logging. silence. shhh 🤫
