+"""gbtype - inject shell input into a running gbhub Game Boy, no OSK needed.
+
+The Game Boy's link port *is* its console when nothing SLIP-frames the bytes,
+so text sent over the hub's control socket lands straight on the shell's stdin
+- exactly as if typed on the on-screen keyboard, but driven from your host.
+
+Start the hub first (in another terminal):   sudo tools/gbhub --daemon
+
+  tools/gbtype 'ls -l'         run 'ls -l' on GB0 (a trailing Enter is added)
+  tools/gbtype -g 1 ps         target GB1 (the Nth joined Game Boy)
+  tools/gbtype -n abc          type 'abc' but no Enter (leave it on the line)
+  tools/gbtype -r              just press Enter
+  tools/gbtype -l              list the connected Game Boys
+  printf 'ls\\ncat readme\\n' | tools/gbtype     pipe a script via stdin
+
+Options must come before the command; the first non-option word starts the
+literal text (so 'gbtype ls -l' needs no quoting, and '-l' there is not --list).
+No root needed - the hub opens the control socket world-connectable."""
