Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It would be nice if RTFM was always an option, but a lot of the time the documentation is woefully incomplete.

    What's there to document? It's all there in the source code! ๐Ÿ˜œ

    Ah yes.

    /* return an item's property as identified by 'prop' */
prop_t* getItemProperty(item_t* item, char* prop)

    The floor is made of floor.

    Or it presupposes existing knowledge or configuration.

    So so true. A perfect example is anything on any page of man other than 1 may as well not exist.

    It's either woefully incomplete or behind a paywall so someone in the company has access to be you can't figure out who and eventually just give up.
