🎀 AIRPORT2-CONFIG(1) 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bestie, okay so airport2-config is the configurator for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (aka "Snow") 💅🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

airport2-config

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so airport2-config lets you manage your AirPort base station, literally the same vibe as the AirPort software on Mac OS X 🍓✨ no cap it's giving main character energy 👑

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

okay real talk, airport2-config takes zero command-line options 💀 it's giving minimalist 🫶

it's really just a wrapper script around the Airport2BaseStationConfigurator.jar jar file, which lives in /usr/share/java/airport-utils 🧚

lowkey the cool part is you can tweak how it runs with a couple of environment variables:

  • You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one the wrapper script picks by default 🔥
  • Set the DEBUG environment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script 🙈

🫧 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🫧

  • DEBUG — set this to 1 and the wrapper script spills its debug output 🔍
  • JAVACMD — the full path to the Java Virtual Machine you want to use 💜 by default the wrapper goes with JAVACMD first, and if that isn't set it checks JAVA_BINDIR/java, then JAVA_HOME/bin/java, before falling back to a java executable in the PATH. ngl the last one is where things get interesting: the JVM used there can be configured with the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)) 🌸
  • JAVA_HOME — the full path where your JDK/JRE is installed 🎀
  • JAVA_BINDIR — the full path to the directory where the java executable lives 🦋
  • JAVA_ARGS — extra command-line arguments passed along to the Java Virtual Machine ✨
