@opsitive Not sure he used it *right*, because he manually checks for missing args and the #manpage seems to say it can do that.

But I never use it at all, so bonus points for sure. (If i needed to do that, I'd just switch to a Real Language)

I should really add getopts to my arsenal, bc hundreds of system() calls is not always better...

Hier verwende ich das Tool auf das Aktuelle Verzeichnis  was mit ./ angegeben wird

aus der #manpage  man fdupes

- r rekursiv

- S zeige die Dateigröße

-n keine leeren Dateien

/home/uffbasse> fdupes -r -S -n ./

Probably a silly question.....
Do I trust this to only delete empty directories?

find . -empty -type d -delete

I think that is the easiest way to find and remove empty directories.

and when I take -delete off, it does show directories that all appear to be empty....

I've been using linux for years now, and there are some things I just don't use enough or at all, but I know about....so should I trust this?

#Linux #Bash #Find #empty #manpage #directo

#Unix #EMACS #Manpage #computers

it is a shopworn thing to complain about man pages

but wait !!
new, improved: #AI #ChatGPT man pages !!

@pavo @TomLarrow or something like a simple #Manpage in their #git (ir even #svn if they hate git for the sake of hating git)...

Something a normal person could just open and search through.

Unlike #IRC there isn't even a way to transcribe #Discord or use it anonymously.

@holly I haven't tested #DuckDuckGo with it yet, but the other day I was pleasantly surprised when I asked #Google for a #manPage .

Bonne nuit.

Des gens s’amusent à rédiger des «manpages» par ici ?

Hé bien j’en fais un sur Steam(6) car leur page dédiée est bien bâclée. Tant d’arguments possibles dans cette commande…

J’avais marre d’une telle pauvreté donc je le refais.

C’est l’occasion d’apprendre plus sur Man, Groff et les bonnes pratiques de documentation.

#man #manpage #steam #groff

I'm updating my personal #Website with a #manpage style #blog in which I intend to document things I find exciting, and hopefully do so with a narrative tone.

Contents aside, this is what I'm shooting for. Basic, simple, plain. I am not a #WebDev so this is in line with my current website.

Currently, my website displays how I interact with my computer: the #Terminal

Please have a look! https://elliotwasem.xyz

#commandline #cli #simple #html #css #technology

No man page for strcpy_s #gcc #manpage

@mikuphile @InsignificantThoughts Using partitions alongside #btrfs is asking to miss early signs of a failing disk when corruption & errors happen in the other partitions btrfs cannot check.

Of course that assumes you run periodic scrubs as the #manpage prescribes.

I also updated many man pages in #OracleSolaris 11.4.54 to list the name services or SMF services used today instead of the /etc/ files used long ago, and made a general editing pass over many section 1 man pages to improve them.

You can see those, along with the other #manpage changes between 11.4.51 and 11.4.54 at:

Wieder einmal mit OpenAI gespielt und gewonnen. Heute: #manpage #unicorn

thx to #ChatGPT

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the output format specification for `stat -r' in #OpenBSD
(Basically just trying to come up with a way to get a file's age in OpenBSD, because date -r isn't supported)

The #OpenBSD stat(1) #manpage doesn't specify the format

There's three fields that look like an epoch date (which is what I'm looking for), and I'm trying to figure out which one is mtime.

@RL_Dane
Happy to read that more and more people like it.
On my slow crapboook its the only chance I am able to smoothly interact with Mastodon.
Integrated with the text editor of choice, rofimoji for emojis 🤓
What else does it need for a very good client? But true, a #manpage 😉

"BUGS
Some terminal emulators (e.g. nxterm) may not work quite right with ncurses, but that's their own damn fault. Plain old xterm seems to be fine."
From the #alsamixer #manpage
Wohoooo, shots fired 😅
