💖 BLUEMON-QUERY(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for bluemon-query, a general commands manual situation, section 1, iykyk. it lives in the same universe as bluemon(1) and it's lowkey just the little messenger girl that runs errands for the big daemon. she talks over DBUS. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bluemon-query — query the state of and send commands to bluemon(1)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bluemon-query [<address>]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this page documents bluemon-query briefly — like, the short version, the sparknotes, the tl;dr. it's not trying to be a whole novel.

what it actually does: bluemon-query sends queries to the bluemon(1) program over DBUS. that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving messenger pigeon but make it dbus. 💅

✨ QUERIES ✨

this is the main character section, fr fr. here's how it works:

  • run bluemon-query with no arguments and it will query for the first connected device. no thoughts, just vibes, first one it finds.
  • give it the parameter of a bluetooth ID and it will query for that ID specifically. like calling someone by name instead of yelling "hey you" into the group chat.

either way, if it's connected, it prints the ID and the signal strength. that's your answer. slay. 🫶

ngl, that's the entire output situation — ID and signal strength if connected. don't go looking for extra drama, there isn't any.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

go read those too, bestie, they're the rest of the friend group. 🌈
