NAME
kati - terminal gremlin, hardware tinkerer, occasional dungeon master.
(I use Arch btw.)
SYNOPSIS
kati [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
kati is a terminal tool/game from the early 90s that still appears to run
on modern Linux systems, although the maintainers deny responsibility.
Typical behaviour includes writing low-level code for a living, designing strange
little electronic devices, and occasionally turning a perfectly normal
idea into a PCB.
kati works best with Emacs. Other editors may appear functional at
first, but results cannot be guaranteed.
Although kati is device-independent, best results are achieved on
ThinkPads and other keyboards capable of surviving both debugging
sessions and midnight project ideas.
kati can also be used outdoors, mostly for exploring abandoned
buildings, collecting questionable artifacts, and bringing home
objects that later turn into props or electronics projects.
-asm
read or write Assembly code (x86, 8051, ARM… and whatever else
the situation unexpectedly requires).
-b, --bash
read or write Bash scripts, mostly to automate things that
absolutely should not be done manually more than once.
-c, --club-mate
activates Club Mate mode: every task gets executed 3 times
faster when kati gets at least 1 bottle of Club Mate as input
(execution time can be further improved with the pizza or
chocolate hack.
-C/C++
read or write C/C++ code, usually in places where mistakes are
exciting and success is suspiciously quiet.
-CSS/HTML-
use this option only in emergencies
kati is not suitable for web development
you'll get results but most likely not the ones you expected
-DnD
activate Dungeons & Dragons mode: DM functionality enabled.
Generates campaigns with excessive lore, suspiciously detailed
handouts, and players who will ignore every hint until the
dramatic reveal.
-h, --haskell
read or write Haskell code
side effects: can result in lectures about why everyone should
use xmonad as WM
-l, --lisp
read or write Lisp code
warning: can cause overheating and unpredictable overreactions
-p, --python
read or write Python code, usually to glue together things that
were never meant to work together.
-3d
activate 3D-printing capability (frequently followed by
designing a PCB for the same project).
(Note: execution of code with kati is still buggy.
In some cases it doesn't work at all, in other cases kati
just takes forever to finish execution. Occasionally this is
caused by a cat sitting on the keyboard.)
BUGS
plenty. some are even documented.
