💅 xfce4-kiosk-query — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, this is a page from the System Manager's Manual (section 8, we love a sysadmin moment) and it's all about xfce4-kiosk-query. yeah. that one. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xfce4-kiosk-query — literally just queries Xfce4 kiosk capabilities. that's the whole job. she's a specialist 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xfce4-kiosk-query [options]modulecapability...

yes, the modules and capabilities are squished together like that, no space, that's not a typo, that's just how she is 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents — briefly! — the xfce4-kiosk-query command. keeping it short and sweet, iconic behavior.

xfce4-kiosk-query is a program that queries the given capabilities of module for the current user, and then reports whether the user has the capabilities or not. it's giving "vibe check but for permissions" fr fr ✨

who is this for? mainly system administrators, to test their Kiosk setup. so if you're out here managing a whole fleet of machines and need to know if your kiosk config actually did what you wanted — this is your girl 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the summary of options, no gatekeeping:

  • -h — shows a summary of options. tiny little help menu, we stan a self-aware program 💖
  • -v — shows the version of the program. so you know exactly which era of her you're dealing with ⭐

that's it. two options. short king energy, honestly.

this little slice of documentation was brought to you by the XFCE4-KIOSK-QUERY(8) page in the System Manager's Manual, last touched January 10, 2005 — yes, 2005, she's vintage, she's aged like fine wine, and she still works. periodt. 🎀✨💜
