SYNOPSIS

kool [options] [args]   (non-standard; varies by implementation)

DESCRIPTION

kool is not a core or standard command in Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or Arch Linux. It does not appear in man pages or common package repositories under this name. It could be a user-defined alias, shell function, or script from a third-party tool, such as a development CLI (e.g., Kool for Docker/PHP/Rails workflows, installed via gem or brew). In that context, it simplifies commands like kool start for containerized apps.

Without installation or definition, running kool yields 'command not found'. Developers might create it for fun, like echoing 'Be kool!' or wrapping colorful output tools. Verify locally with type kool, alias kool, or which kool. No universal syntax or behavior exists, so documentation depends on its origin.

If referring to a specific package, check project repos like GitHub for 'kool-cli'.

CAVEATS

Not installed by default; results in 'command not found' on standard systems. Syntax and features depend on custom/local definition.

LOCAL CHECK

Run type -a kool or command -v kool to inspect definition.
Search PATH: echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | xargs -I {} find {} -name '*kool*'

INSTALLATION EXAMPLE

For Kool CLI: gem install kool or brew tap enviro/kool && brew install kool (if applicable).

HISTORY

No official Linux history. Possible origins in third-party CLIs like Kool.dev (circa 2020s for web dev), or user scripts. Not part of POSIX or GNU coreutils.
