🕰️ VCSTIME(8) ✨ System Manager's Manual ✨
💖 NAME 💖
vcstime - Show time in upper right hand corner of the console screen 🎀
🔮 SYNOPSIS 🔮
vcstime🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
okay so vcstime shows the current time in the upper right-hand corner of your console screen 🕰️✨ it's giving cozy terminal clock energy and I'm obsessed.
this simple program just pops the current time into the corner of the console screen. no cap, that's the whole thing 💅
bestie, heads up: it needs to be run by root 👑 because it needs write permissions to /dev/vcsa 🔥 so yeah, no sneaking around with a regular user account here 🙈
🦋 AUTHORS 🦋
vcstime was written by Andries Brouwer, based on a suggestion by Miguel de Icaza 🫶 the main character origin story, iykyk.
