Bytenuts caches the current instance's command list and output buffer in `~/.config/bytenuts/inbuf.log` and `~/.config/bytenuts/outbuf.log` respectively. If launched with the `-r` flag, Bytenuts will load in the input and output history from those files. The `outbuf.log` can also serve as a backup log if one forgot to launch with the `-l` flag. Bytenuts caches the current instance's command list and output buffer in `~/.config/bytenuts/inbuf.log` and `~/.config/bytenuts/outbuf.log` respectively. If launched with the `-r` flag, Bytenuts will load in the input and output history from those files. The `outbuf.log` can also serve as a backup log if one forgot to launch with the `-l` flag.
While Bytenuts is running, the process will be writing its backup output and input to `~/.config/bytenuts/outbuf.<pid>.log` and `~/.config/bytenuts/inbuf.<pid>.log` and rename those files to the paths without the PID upon exit. This allows for multiple processes to be open without writing to the same log files. Thus, the `-r` flag will load the most recently exited Bytenuts instance.
