BLAEU(1)

💖 BLAEU — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about Blaeu — that's the <pink>BLAEU(1)</pink> page, living in the User Commands section of your manual, and it's giving "test HTTP, only to anchors". That's the whole NAME energy right there. No cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, the whole vibe in one line:

blaeu-http target-anchor-name ...

that's it. that's the entry point. you hand it anchor names and it goes. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea. General options are:

👑 General options 👑

• --verbose or -v — makes the program more talkative. it simply will not stop yapping. 🗣️
• --help or -h — this message. hi. hello. welcome. 🫶
• --displayprobes or -o — display the probes numbers. > WARNING: big lists. like big big. do not say I didn't warn you, bestie. 😭
• --displayprobeasns — display the (unique) probe ASNumbers. heads up, currently only for blaeu-resolve. 🙈
• --cache-probes=<file.json> — cache probe data. save it for later, iconic behavior. 💾
• --country=2LETTERSCODE or -c 2LETTERSCODE — limits the measurements to one country. default is world-wide, because main character energy is global. 🌍
• --area=AREACODE or -a AREACODE — limits the measurements to one area, such as North-Central. default is world-wide. 🗺️
• --asn=ASnumber or -n ASnumber — limits the measurements to one AS. default is all ASes. ✨
• --prefix=IPprefix or -f IPprefix — limits the measurements to one IP prefix. default is all prefixes. > WARNING: it must be an exact prefix in the global routing table. no approximate vibes allowed, it's strict. 💀
• --probes=N or -s N — selects the probes by giving explicit ID (one ID or a comma-separated list). pick your faves. 🎀
• --requested=N or -r N — requests N probes. default is 5. 🖐️
• --percentage=X or -p X — stops the program as soon as X % of the probes reported a result. default is 90 %. so close to done, so relatable. 🏁
• --measurement-ID=N or -m N — do not start a measurement, just analyze a former one. archaeological queen behavior. 🔍
• --old-measurement MSMID or -g MSMID — uses the probes of measurement MSMID. recycling is chic. ♻️
• --include TAGS or -i TAGS — limits the measurements to probes with these tags (a comma-separated list). ✂️
• --exclude TAGS or -e TAGS — excludes from measurements the probes with these tags (a comma-separated list). begone. 🚫
• --port=N or -t N — destination port for TCP. default is 80. 🚪
• --size=N or -z N — number of bytes in the packet. default is 64 bytes. 📏
• --ipv4 or -4 — uses IPv4. default is IPv6, except if the parameter or option is an IP address, then it is automatically found. she figures it out herself, honestly. 🔎
• --tags TAGS — tag the measurement (no relationship with probes tags) (a comma-separated list). different tags, different situation, don't get it twisted. 🏷️
• --spread or -w — spreads the tests (add a delay before the tests). slow down, gorgeous. 🐌✨
• --private — makes the measurement private. shy girl era. 🙈
• --resolve-on-probe — resolve names with the probe's DNS resolver. 🧚
• --machine-readable or -b — machine-readable output, to be consumed by tools like grep or cut. robots need snacks too. 🤖

💜 Also: 💜

• --method=S — HTTP method to use. default is GET. 🔥
• --path=S — Path in the URL. the anchors accept a number, which will be the size returned. 🛣️
• --query=S — Query string to use, in format key=value (ignored by the anchors, may be useful to disable a cache). cache? don't know her. 💅
• --https — Uses HTTPS. default is plain HTTP. glow up secured. 🔒
• --timing — Displays extra timing information. clock it. ⏱️
