💖 BUSTLE-PCAP 💖

okay so bestie, you know how we've all been there: something on your D-Bus is acting UNHINGED and you need receipts. That's literally this. It's a page from the User Commands manual, and it's about to become your new hyperfixation. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

bustle-pcap — Generate D-Bus logs for bustle

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💅 Usage

bustle-pcap [OPTION?] FILENAME

The way this works is so simple it's giving main character energy: it logs D-Bus traffic to FILENAME in a format that's suitable for bustle. That's it. That's the whole job. Periodt. 💖

🚌 Bus Options

So like, which bus are we spying on today? Pick your vibe:

  • -e, --session — Monitor the session bus. This is the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get. No thoughts, head empty, session bus. ✨
  • -y, --system — Monitor the system bus. Bigger bus, bigger drama. 🔥
  • -a, --address — Monitor a given D-Bus address. You bring the address, it brings the logs. iykyk. 💅

🎀 Application Options

The little extra sprinkles on top:

  • -v, --verbose — Print brief summaries of captured messages to stdout. Not me wanting to see EVERYTHING. 👀
  • -q, --quiet — Don't print out instructions. For when you already know what you're doing and you do NOT need the tutorial. 😌
  • -V, --version — Print version information and exit. Quick lil vibe check on which version you're running. ⭐
  • -h, --help — Print help and exit. The classic. When in doubt, ask for help, bestie. 🫶

okay so real talk: that "no warranty" part is not a joke and not a vibe — it literally means if this thing eats your logs, that's on you. Take it seriously even while I'm being silly. 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! This was bustle-pcap version 0.8.0, from September 2021. Go capture some traffic and slay. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
