💖 BIOCTL — bestie's guide to biometric auth 💖

okay so welcome to the bioctl page, from the General Commands Manual (section 1, iykyk), and honestly? she's a short one, but she's important. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bioctl — control tool for biometric authentication 👆✨

like, it's literally the lil remote control for your fingerprint/facial-recognition vibe on the UKUI desktop.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bioctl

no args, no flags, no drama. she just is. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bioctl is a control tool for biometric authentication in the UKUI desktop. 🌈

what does that mean fr fr? it shows or changes the status of whether biometric authentication is enabled or not. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly. 👑

here's the little menu of things you can say to her:

  • status — show the status of biometric authentication. 🔍 like a vibe check but for your fingerprint sensor.
  • enable — enable biometric authentication. 🔥 turn it ON, bestie, let the scanner know you.
  • disable — disable biometric authenticaion. 💀 turn it OFF, we're going back to passwords I guess.
ngl, the original page spells it "authenticaion" in the disable line and I am keeping it, character for character, because that's what the manpage says and I don't make the rules. 🫶 (and yes, the same typo energy appears in the first DESCRIPTION sentence — it's in the source, it's staying. no cap.)

🙈 BUGS 🙈

Should you encounter any bugs, they may be reported at:

http://github.com/ukui/ukui-biometric-auth/issues

like, if something's acting up, go tell the devs, don't just sit there suffering in silence. main character energy includes filing an issue. 📝✨
