The feeling that a single actual example would make the whole thing a million times clearer.

Sometimes there's also an `info` file with more detail.

And one of my pet peeves. Do a search "How to briwyw the gomleqq" and the first one you look at has screen after screen of how to install Linux and everything and then finally at the very bottom it is finally revealed

    gomleqq --briwyw 40 --eiei-dddd 9
and that's the little bit of knowledge that I needed all along, along with that fact that 40 needs to be at least 4 times bigger than 9 or you'll get dropped packets.

I think you won the Internet for the day.
going back and forth from a search tab, the results, and this comment, I'm over here trying to remember FAST in case Im having a stroke or what. Is this tool written in Klingon or something?
No, it is Linear A.

Remember the Klingon saying.

> A programmer who releases open source lacking a man page and info file has no honor.

To paraphrase: Eh, you were lucky to have a page! We used to have to skip forwards and backwards through a video!
