SETVESABLANK(8)

✨ SETVESABLANK ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the System Manager's Manual — section 8, which is the "admin/system commands" girlies 💅. The command is setvesablank and she is, and I cannot stress this enough, so specific about her one job.

🌸 NAME 🌸

setvesablank — turns VESA screen blanking on or off, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

setvesablank [ [ -b --blanking ] on | ON | off | OFF ] [ -h --help ] [ -v --verbose ]

like yes, she takes args, and yes, she will accept your on in lowercase or SCREAMING, because she's flexible like that 💖

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ngl it's giving very "one trick, but she does it well". The program setvesablank sets VESA screen blanking on or off. That's the whole description. No plot twist. No side quest. She said what she said ✨

---

💫 OPTIONS 💫 (the little extras)

• -b, --blanking — the main character of this whole manpage 💅 you give her one of four values: on, ON, off, or OFF. Yes, literally both cases are accepted, she is not picky, she is thriving.
• -h, --help — she'll spill the help text for you 🥰
• -v, --verbose — she gets chatty and tells you more about what she's doing 👑

lowkey important: this page lives in the kbd package, version dated 14 Feb 2002 — and yeah, she's from section 8 of the System Manager's Manual, so you already know she's for the system-admin girlies, not the casuals 🫡

and that's the whole page bestie, setvesablank forever, no cap 💖✨🌈
