ARBTT-CAPTURE(1)

💖 ARBTT-CAPTURE(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the ARBTT-CAPTURE page from the arbtt manual, and it's genuinely so much less scary than it looks, i promise. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

arbtt-capture — collect data samples for arbtt 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

arbtt-capture [OPTION...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional args, no drama.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so arbtt-capture just... runs. forever. like, continuously, bestie, no chill. at the sample rate you give it — which is usually once per minute — it grabs a sample of your collected data and saves it to ~/.arbtt/capture.log. that's the whole job. it's giving loyal little data goblin and honestly? we love her for it. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, -?, --help — shows you a short summary of the options that exist, and then exists. yes it does both. iconic. ✨
• -V, --version — shows the version number, and then also exists. same energy, different flag. 🫶
• -r RATE, --sample-rate RATE — sets the sample rate in seconds. default is 60, so if you say nothing you get one sample a minute, which is lowkey perfect for most people. ⏰
• -f FILE, --logfile FILE — the logfile to use instead of ~/.arbtt/capture.log. use this when you want your samples to live somewhere else, no judgement. 📁
• -d, --dump — dumps one current sample instead of touching the logfile. like a little peek. a vibe check. it does not modify anything. 🙈

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• ~/.arbtt/capture.log — a binary file, bestie, not a text file, so don't go cat-ing it and expecting to read your life story. it's storing the arbtt data samples. that's it, that's the file. 💾

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• See the arbtt manual for more information, and the arbtt hackage page[1] for newer versions of arbtt. go look, it's worth it, iykyk. ⭐
