This is my collection of tongue-in-cheek man pages I have seen posted
to the Net. I did not write them, but in some cases I have done a
considerable amount of work to back-engineer them to source form and/or
beautify them. They are all in source form, so people can use nroff or
troff as they wish.
I welcome any new pages people would like to contribute. (I do have
the penix man pages, but I'm still working on converting them to nroff
source.)
Enjoy!

.RI [ name... ]
.SH "SYSTEM V SYNOPSIS"
.B /usr/5bin/baby
.RB [ \-sex \0\fIsex\fR]
.RB [ \-name \0\fIname...\fR]
.SH AVAILABILITY
The System V version of this command is available
with the System V software installation option.
Refer to Installing SunOS 4.1 for information
on how to install and invoke
.IR baby .
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I baby
is initiated when one parent process polls another server process
through a socket connection (BSD)
or through pipes in the System V implementation.
.I baby
runs at low priority for approximately 40 weeks
and then terminates with a heavy system load.
Most systems require constant monitoring when
.I baby
reaches its final stages of execution.
.PP
Older implementations of
.I baby
required that the initiating process not
be present at the time of completion.
In these
versions the initiating process
is
awakened and notified of the results upon completion.
Modern versions allow both parent processes to be active
during the final stages of
.IR baby .
.PP

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-sex
option indicating type of process created.
.TP
.B \-name
process identification to be attached to the new process.
.SH RESULT
Successful execution of
.IR baby (1)
results in new process being created and named.
Parent processes then typically
broadcast messages to all other processes informing them of their
new status in the system.
.SH BUGS
The
.I sleep
command may not work on either parent processes for some time afterward,
as new
.I baby
processes constantly send interrupts
which must be handled by one or more parent.
.PP
.I baby
processes upon being created may frequently dump
in /tmp requiring /tmp to be cleaned out frequently by one
of the parent processes.
.PP
The original AT&T version was provided without instructions
regarding the created process; this remains in current implementations.

.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B baby
.B \-sex
.RI [ m | f ]
.RB [ \-name
.IR name ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I baby
is initiated when one parent process polls another server process
through a socket connection in the BSD version
or through pipes in the System V implementation.
.I baby
runs at low priority for approximately forty weeks
and then terminates with a heavy system load.
Most systems require constant monitoring when
.I baby
reaches its final stages of execution.
.PP
Older implementations of
.I baby
did not require both initiating processes to
be present at the time of completion.
In those
versions the initiating process
which was not present was
awakened and notified of the results upon completion.
It has since been determined that the presence of both parent
processes result in a generally lower system load at completion,
and thus current versions of
.I baby
expect both parent processes to be active during the final stages.
.PP
Successful completion of
.I baby
results in the creation and
naming of a new process.
Parent processes then broadcast
messages to all other processes, local and remote, informing
them of their new status.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-sex
define the gender of the created process
.TP
.B \-name
assign the name name to the new process
.SH EXAMPLES

.RE
.PP
completed successfully on July 9, 1992 at 9:11pm.
Jacqueline's vital statistics: 8 pounds 3 oz, 20 inches, long dark hair.
The parent process, Kim Dunbar, is reportedly doing fine.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IR cigar (6),
.IR dump (5),
.IR cry (3).
.SH BUGS
Despite its complexity,
.I baby
only knows one signal, SIGCHLD,
(or SIGCLD in the System V implementation),
which it uses to contact the parent processes.
One or both parent processes must then inspect the baby process
to determine the cause of the signal.
.PP
The
.IR sleep (1)
command may not work as expected on either parent
process for some time afterward, as each new instance of
.I baby
sends intermittent signals to the parent processes
which must be handled by the parents immediately.
.PP
A
.I baby
process will frequently dump core, requiring either
or both parent processes to clean up after it.
.PP
Despite the reams of available documentation on invoking and
maintaining
.IR baby ,
most parent processes are overwhelmed.

.SH NAME
condom \- protection against viruses and prevention of child processes
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B condom
.RI [ options ]
.RI [ processid ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I condom
provides protection against System Transmitted
Viruses (STVs) that may invade your system.
Although the spread of such viruses across a network
can only be abated by aware and cautious users,
.I condom
is the only highly effective means of preventing
viruses from entering your system (see
.IR celibacy (1)).
Any data passed to
.I condom
by the protected process will be blocked, as specified by
the value of the
.B \-s
option (see
.B OPTIONS
below).
.I condom
is known to
defend against the following viruses and other malicious
afflictions:
.RS
.IP \(bu
AIDS
.PD 0
.IP \(bu
Herpes Simplex (genital varieties)
.IP \(bu
Syphilis
.IP \(bu
Crabs
.IP \(bu
Genital warts
.IP \(bu
Gonhorrea

.PD
.RE
.PP
When used alone or in conjunction with
.IR pill (1),
.IR sponge (1),
.IR foam (1),
and/or
.IR setiud (3),
.I condom
also prevents the conception of a child process.
If invoked from within a synchronous process,
.I condom
has, by default, an 80% chance of preventing the external processes
from becoming parent processes (see the
.B \-s
option below).
When other process contraceptives are used,
the chance of preventing a child process from being forked
becomes much greater.
See
.IR pill (1),
.IR sponge (1),
.IR foam (1),
and
.IR setiud (3)
for more information.
.PP
If no options are given, the current user's login process (as
determined by the environment variable USER) is protected with a
Trojan rough-cut latex condom without a reservoir tip.
The optional
.RI `` processid ''
argument is an integer specifying the process to protect.
.PP
NOTE:
.I condom
may only be used with a hard disk.
.I condom
will terminate abnormally with exit code \-1 if used with a floppy
disk (see
.B DIAGNOSTICS
below).

.RE
.TP
.B \-r
Toggle reservoir tip (default is no reservoir tip)
.TP
.BI \-s " strength"
.I strength
is an integer between 20 and 100 specifying the resilience of
.I condom
against data passed to
.I condom
by the protected process.
Using a larger
value of
.I strength
increases
.IR condom 's
protective abilities,
but also reduces interprocess communication.
A smaller value of
.I strength
increases interprocess communication,
but also increases the likelihood of a security breach.
An extremely vigorous process or
one passing an enormous amount of data to
.I condom
will increase the chance of
.IR condom 's
failure.
The default
.I strength
is 80%.
.ne 8
.TP
.BI \-t " texture"
Valid
.IR texture s
are:
.RS 1i
.TP
.PD 0
rough (default)
.TP
ribbed
.TP
bumps
.TP
lubricated
(provides smoother interaction between processes)
.PD
.RE
.PP
WARNING: The use of an external application to
.I condom
in order to reduce friction between processes has been proven in
benchmark tests to decrease
.IR condom 's
strength factor!
If execution speed is important to your process, use the
.RB `` \-t
.BR lubricated ''
option.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.I condom
terminates with one of the following exit codes:
.TP
\-1
An attempt was made to use
.I condom
on a floppy disk.
.TP
0
.I condom
exited successfully (no data was passed to the synchronous process).
.TP
1
.I condom
failed and data was allowed through.
The danger of transmission of an STV or the forking of a child process
is inversely proportional to the number of other protections employed
and is directly proportional to the ages of the processes involved.
.SH BUGS
.I condom
is
.B NOT
100% effective at preventing a child process
from being forked or at deterring the invasion of a virus (although
the System Administrator General has deemed that
.I condom
is the most
effective means of preventing the spread of system transmitted
viruses).
See
.IR celibacy (1)
for information on a 100% effective program
for preventing these problems.
.PP
Remember, the use of
.IR sex (1)
and other related routines
should only occur between mature, consenting processes.
If you must use
.IR sex (1),
please employ
.I condom
to protect your process and your synchronous process.
If we are all responsible, we can stop the spread of STVs.
.SH "AUTHORS and HISTORY"
The original version of
.I condom
was released in Roman times and was only marginally effective.
With the advent of modern technology,
.I condom
now supports many more options and is much more effective.
.PP
The current release of
.I condom
was written by Ken Maupin at the University of Washington
(maupin@cs.washington.edu) and was last updated on 10/7/92.

If no arguments are given, a date will be selected at random.
Providing an argument will restrict the search pool of dates.
Hopefully these arguments will not carry forward into the actual date.
Only the superuser can select dates by name.
.PP
The
.B \-s
option registers you in the date database and (if not
.BR \-local )
posts your vitals to alt.personals (and, optionally, alt.sex.wanted).
.PP
Using the
.B \-k
option selects a date, but does not make any further arrangments.
.PP
Ranges are specified with parentheses and brackets: (18,25) is 18 to 25
exclusive while [18,25] is 18 to 25 inclusive.
An array of selections is given with braces
such as ``{blonde, brunette, redhead}''.
Multiple responses are separated with commas,
as in ``sex=female,yes,please''.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B flog
.RB [ \-l " \fIn\fR]
.RB [ \-a " \fIm\fR]
.RB [ \-u ]
process-id
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Flog
is used to stimulate an improvement in the performance of a process
that is already in execution.
The
.I process-id
is the process number of the process that is to be
disciplined.
.PP
The value
.I n
of the
.B \-l
flag is the flagellation constant,
i.e., the number of
.I lashes
to be administered per minute.
If this argument is omitted, the default is 17,
which is the most random random number.
.PP
The value
.I m
of the
.B \-a
flag is the number of times the
inducement to speed up is to be
.IR administered .
If this argument is omitted, the default is one,
which is based on the possibility that after that
the process will rectify its behavior of its own volition.
.PP
The presence of the
.B \-u
flag indicates that
.I flog
is to be
.I unmerciful
in its actions.
This nullifies the effects of the other keyletter arguments.
It is recommended that
this option be used only on extremely stubborn processes,
as its over-use may have detrimental effects.
.SH FILES
.I Flog
will read the file
.I /have/mercy
for any entry containing the process-id of the
process being speeded-up.
The file can contain whatever
supplications are deemed necessary, but, of course, these will
be ignored if the
.B \-u
flag is supplied.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
On Improving Process Performance
by the Administration of Corrective Stimulation,
.I CACM ,
vol. 4, 1657, pp. 356-654.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
If a named process does not exist,
.I flog
replies ``flog you'' on the standard output.
If
.I flog
happens to
.IR kill (2)
the process, which usually happens when the
.B \-u
keyletter argument is supplied, it writes ``RIP,'' followed by the
process-id of the deceased, on the standard output.
.SH BUGS
Spurious supplications for mercy by the process being
flogged sometimes wind up on the standard output, rather than in
.IR /shut/up .

.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gong
.RB [ \-f ]
.RB [ \-a ]
process-id
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Gong
is used to evaluate the performance of a process that is in execution.
.PP
The
.I process-id
is the process number of the process whose performance is to be
evaluated.
The evaluation is performed by a set of three ``panelist'' routines,
each of which analyzes one aspect (time, space, and tonality)
of the performance of the process.
If any of these routines is not amused by the performance,
the process being analyzed is sent the
.IR gong (2)
signal.
In addition, the process-id of the evaluated process is written
on the standard gong, for possible future corrective action.
(It is suggested that the standard gong
be an audible alarm for proper effect.)
It is expected that after being
.IR gong (2)ed,
the process will promptly commit suicide.
.PP
The
.B \-f
keyletter argument
indicates that
.I gong
is to invoke
.IR flog (1)
with the
.I unmerciful
argument if the process does not respond to
.IR gong (2)ing.
In the absence of this argument, the process is continuously
.IR gong (2)ed,
which may lead to the process becoming a
deaf zombie.
.PP
The
.B \-a
keyletter argument indicates that if all three of the panelist
routines
.IR gong (2)
a process, the process should be unmercifully
.IR flog (1)ged
whether or not the
.B \-f
keyletter is supplied.
.SH FILES
/dev/ding.dong is the standard gong.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
On the Applicability of Gonging
to the Performance and Merit Review Process,
.IR "Journal of Irreproducible Results" ,
vol. 263, issue 19, pp. 253-307.
.SH BUGS
If the named process does not exist, it is possible that
.I gong
will attempt an evaluation of itself, which may lead to a condition
known as compounded double ringing (see
.IR echo (1)).
Therefore, it is recommended that
.I gong
be used with extreme care.

(``That ain't a vernacular; it's a Derby!'').
.IP
The character $ matches on payday.
.IP
A
.B .
(period) matches nothing.
Period.
So there.
And your little dog, too.
.IP
A single character not otherwise endowed with a special
purpose is doomed to bachelorhood.
.IP
A string enclosed in brackets [\|] is kinky.
.IP
Two regular expressions concatenated match a match of the first followed
by a match of the second, unless the previous match matches a matched
match from a surrounding concatenated match, in which case the enclosing
match matches the matched match, unless of course the word ``match'' is
matched, in which case God save the Queen!
.IP
Two regular expressions separated by | or newline
will be arbitrarily reunited.
.IP
A regular expression enclosed in parentheses
ignites a match.
.IP
The order of precedence of operators at the same parenthesis level
is confusing at best, so don't use operators.

.B rm
.RB [ \-fri ]
.\" .RB [ \-C [ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ]]
.RB [ \-C [ 2ABCFGMRSbcfjlmnpru ]]
.IR file ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
The command
.I rm
deletes each file argument from the system.
There are a large number of options:
.TP
.B \-f
Forced remove.
Unwritable files are removed without
.I rm
asking permission.
By default,
.I rm
will ask permission before removing unwritable files.
.TP
.B \-r
Recursive remove.
For each argument which is a directory,
.I rm
will recursively remove the entire hierarchy below it.
If this was successful,
the directory itself is removed.
.TP
.B \-i
Interactive remove.
.I rm
will ask permission before removing anything.
.TP
.B \-C
Remove
.I csh
files.
.I csh
files are those files that have an extension of .csh.
When
.B -C
is used, the
.B \-f
and
.B \-r
flags are turned on, and ``/'' is used for the
.I file
argument.
.TP
\&
There are a host of modifiers:
.TP
.B \-2
Translate
.I csh
source files to Modula 2.
The extension is changed to .m2.
.TP
.B \-A
Purge accounts of all users who had
.I csh
source files in
their account, or had used the
.I csh
this week.
.TP
.B \-B
Replace removed files with copies of the current bug
list for the
.I csh
that can execute that particular file.
In the unlikely event that more than one
.I csh
can execute the file,
buglists are catenated together.
WARNING: This can consume an inordinate amount of disk
space.
.TP
.B \-C
Remove all
.I csh
shells from the system.
.TP
.B \-F
Flame option.
After removing files, make a posting to
comp.unix.shell describing exactly how well
.I csh
works.
.TP
.B \-G
Replace removed files with copies of the GNU manifesto.
.TP
.B \-M
Mail source files to rms@mit-prep.mit.edu before removing.
.TP
.B \-R
Raw eggs option.
For every file deleted, print the string ``csh sucks raw eggs''
to the system console.
.TP
.B \-S
Script option.
Delete shell scripts that call the
.I csh
shell too.
.TP
.B \-b
Beat option.
Don't simply delete
.I csh
shells,
beat them to death with a stick first.
.TP
.B \-c
Don't remove
.I csh
source files,
instead convert them to C++.
The extension is changed .c++.
If this option is used in conjunction with the
.B \-G
option,
the Gnu copyright is prepended to the file when translated.
.TP
.B \-f
Force option.
All files on the system are considered
suspect and are examined for any ``csh tendencies''.
Files containing any ``csh tendencies'' will be deleted.
This is the only way to delete makefiles for
.I csh
programs.
.TP
.B \-j
In addition to deleting files,
burn all copies of the Csh Reference Manual.
.TP
.B \-l
Lose option.
This can only be used in conjunction with
the
.B \-C
option.
Instead of deleting
.I csh
shells,
replace them with a shell script that prints ``You Lose!''
when invoked.
.TP
.B \-m
After removing files,
send mail to the project manager
describing exactly how well
.I csh
shells work.
If this option is used,
a resume is also posted to misc.jobs.resumes.
.TP
.B \-n
Network option.
Don't limit deletion to the machine
.I rm
was invoked from,
delete all
.I csh
files from the entire network.
.TP
.B \-p
Pascal option.
Translate
.I csh
source files to Pascal.
The extension is changed to .p.
.TP
.B \-r
Run /usr/games/rogue while deleting
.I csh
files.
.TP
.B \-u
UUCP option.
Similar to the
.B \-n

.TH STRING 3D
.SH NAME
strfry \- string operation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <string.h>
.PP
.B char *strfry (s1, s2)
.B char *s1, *s2;
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The arguments
.I s1
and
.I s2
point to strings (arrays of characters terminated by a null character).
The function
.I strfry
may or may not alter
.I s2
or
.IR s1 .
This function does not check for overflow of the array pointed to
by
.IR s1 .
.PP
.I strfry
will encrypt
.I s1
using
.I s3
as the key.
.RI ( s3
is a character pointer and
contains random garbage from the stack.)
.I s2
will then be copied to the memory pointed to by the
.B NULL
pointer.
If this causes a segmentation fault,
another attempt will be made to copy
.I s2
into a random address within the interrupt vector table.
.PP
.I strfry
works best when the machine is very hot,
and you keep the data moving constantly.
Unless your memory devices are teflon coated.
.SH NOTE
In systems where
.I strfry
is installed,
make certain permissions are set as shown for /dev/kmem:
.PP
.nf
crw\-rw\-rw\-\0\0\01\0root\0\0\0\0\0sys\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\00,\0\00\0May\0\06\013:40\0/dev/kmem
.fi
.SH BUGS
In certain machine architectures
.I strfry
doesn't always crash
the system in the first attempt.
In these systems,
you should execute it in a loop at least three times.
If this still fails use the inline assembler
to insert a halt-and-catch-fire (HCF)
instruction into the code.
.PP
Character movement is performed differently
in different implementations.
Thus overlapping moves may yield surprises.

.\" .ad
.SH NAME
tm \- meditate
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tm
.RB [ \-\fInumber ]
.RI [ time ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tm
causes UNIX to go into a state in which all current
activities are suspended for
.I time
minutes
(default is 20).
At the beginning of this period,
.I tm
generates a set of
.I number
(default 3)
transcendental numbers.
Then it prints a two- to six-character
nonsense syllable
.RI ( mantra )
on every logged-in terminal
(a
.I different
syllable on each terminal).
For the remainder of the time interval, it repeats these
numbers to itself, in random order, binary
digit by binary digit (memory permitting),
while simultaneously contemplating its kernel.
.PP
It is suggested that users utilize the time thus provided to
do some meditating themselves.
One possibility is to close one's eyes, attempt to shut out one's
surroundings, and concentrate on the
.I mantra
supplied by
.IR tm .
.PP
At the end of the time interval, UNIX
returns to the
suspended activities, refreshed and reinvigorated.
Hopefully, so do the users.
.SH FILES
.I Tm
does not use any files,
in an attempt to isolate itself
from external influences and distractions.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
If disturbed for any reason during the interval of meditation,
.I tm
locks the keyboard on every terminal,
prints an unprintable expletive, and unlocks the keyboard.
Subsequent UNIX operation may be marked by an unusual number
of lost or scrambled files and dropped lines.
.SH BUGS
If
.I number
is greater than 32,767 (decimal),
.I tm
appears to generate
.I rational
numbers for the entire time interval,
after which the behavior of the system may be completely
.I irrational
(i.e., transcendental).
.SH WARNING
Attempts to use
.IR flog (1)
on
.I tm
are invariably counterproductive.

.TH XKILL 1
.SH NAME
xkill \- extended kill \- kill processes or users, including Usenet posters.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xkill
.RB [ \-signal ]
.I pid
\&...
.br
.B "xkill \-l"
.br
.B xkill
.IR username [ @host ]
\&...
.br
.B xkill
.B \-u
.RB [ \-qs ]
.RB [ \-p ]
.RI [ newsgroup ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I xkill
sends a signal to a process or a terminal.
The first two forms send a signal to a process.
The functionality in this case is the same as
.IR kill (1).
.PP
When the command
.I xkill
is invoked with an username as argument,
it attempts to locate the specified user on the local host.
If the user is logged on,
the signal ECUTE (electrocute, 666) is sent to the user's terminal.
This will cause the keyboard to electrocute the user.
If the user is not logged on,
the appropriate line of the file
.I /etc/passwd
is marked.
The first time the user logs on the ECUTE signal is
sent to the terminal he is using.
.PP
When the command
.I xkill
is invoked with a remote username,
in the form
.IR user@host ,
a connection with the remote host is attempted (see
.IR xkilld (8)),
to send the ECUTE signal to the user's terminal.
.SH "USENET KILL"
The
.B \-u
(Usenet) option is an extension of the concept of KILL file.
.PP
The program will attempt to locate a remote user by scanning
the news spool area.
When the user is located,
a connection is attempted with the appropriate host,
and the ECUTE (electrocute, 666) signal is sent to the appropriate user.
The search only considers one newsgroup.
If none is specified,
.I rec.humor
is assumed by default.
The program attempts to locate people whose signature is too long,
and who quote a whole article in order to comment on a single line.
The option
.B \-s
can be used to consider only the size of signatures,
while the option
.B \-q
can be used to consider only the size of the quotations.
The option
.B \-qs
corresponds to the default.
.PP
When the
.B \-p
(post) switch is used,
the user is electrocuted next time he post news.
.SH FILES
.IP /etc/passwd 20
to keep track of users marked for electrocution
.IP /etc/hosts 20
list of remote hosts
.IP /usr/spool/news 20
news spool directory;
the news articles are stored here
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IR kill (1),
.IR telnet (1c),
.IR xkilld (8)
.SH BUGS
To kill a remote user,
it is sometimes better to use the command
.IR telnet (1c)
using the standard
.I xkilld
port (number 666).
When the connection is attempted by
.IR xkill (1)
some gateways will explode after the user is electrocuted.
.PP
To decide what is a quotation,
and what is a signature,
a very complicated pattern matching is used.
This does not always work,
even if the program hasn't yet electrocuted
somebody who is not guilty of bandwidth waste.
