saveme(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the System Manager's Manual, section 8, and the page is literally called saveme 💅

✨ NAME ✨

saveme — unlink ld.so.preload 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so saveme is part of the tsocks package 🎀

and the whole vibe here is that this program is designed to be statically linked — which is the entire point, no cap — so that if a user breaks their ld.so.preload file and then cannot run any dynamically linked program 😭💀, it can still delete the offending ld.so.preload file for them.

like… it's the emergency bestie. the one who shows up when everything else is locked out of the group chat. 🧚✨

💡 the way this works: if every dynamic binary on the system is refusing to start because of a bad ld.so.preload, a static binary is the one thing that still runs. that's why it's built that way. iconic, honestly.

This manpage was created by Nico Golde <nion@debian.org> for the debian package of tsocks. 🫡💜

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 the footer just reads saveme over on the left and saveme(8) on the right, so like… that's it, that's the sign-off, we ate and left no crumbs 💅🌈⭐
