✨ NAME ✨

x2gopath — bestie, this is the lil tool that shows you where your X2Go Server is actually installed 🫶 it's literally just a path-printer, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

x2gopath {base|lib|libexec|share}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so. you ever be like "where is X2Go even living on this machine??" and nobody answers? x2gopath answers. it displays the paths of whichever X2Go installation directory you ask for. that's the whole vibe. one question, one answer, slay 💅

you pick one of these four, and here's the tea on each:

  • base — the prefix under which X2Go was installed. this is generally /usr or /usr/local. it's the origin story, the main character of the path stack 👑
  • lib — the location of X2Go's architecture-dependent parts. and yes bestie, that means the libraries, but also the Perl modules 🧚 so it's giving "everything compiled and everything scripty in one spot"
  • libexec — the location of X2Go's private binaries 🙈 not your normal PATH binaries, these ones are tucked away like a secret. iykyk
  • share — the location of X2Go's data files 🎀 the non-binary goodies, the data, the vibes
no flags, no options, no extra arguments. you give it one word from that list and it gives you one path back. it's a one-word-to-one-path situationship and honestly? iconic.
