✨ ARATAPIF ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ARanyM — that's Atari Running on Any Machine — and more specifically for the lil helper called aratapif. 💖

📖 NAME 📖

ARanyM — Atari Running on Any Machine — aratapif 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

aratapif tap_device host_IP atari_IP netmask mtu_size

like. that's the whole vibe. five args, no drama. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so first things first: this manual page is a brief lil rundown of the aratapif program. it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution specifically, because the original program literally does not have a manual page. 😭 so we made one. you're welcome.

aratapif is what you use to set up the network device in ARAnyM. ✨ and here's the tea — it's basically a stripped down version of the standard ifconfig command. but only for the TAP device. that's it. that's its whole job. which means 👑 it is safe to setuid root 👑 — because it can't go wandering off and touching stuff it shouldn't.

ngl the "only works on TAP" thing is the whole reason this is allowed to be spicy with permissions. it's giving responsible main character energy. 🫶
