💖 cas(1) — aMule utilities 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about cas, one of the aMule utility girlies. She lives in the aMule utilities section of the manual, and she is so good at what she does. Periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

cas — c aMule statistics 🎀

yes that's literally it, it's short for aMule statistics, she's cute like that.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cas [-o] [-p] [-c <path>]

cas [-h]

like, that's the whole vibe. two whole usage lines. we love a minimal queen 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So cas is a program for displaying the contents of your aMule online signature file to console (in a human readable form). Like. It reads that file and translates it into something your eyeballs can actually deal with instead of raw chaos. Iconic behaviour, no cap.

🫶 bestie listen: for this to work at all, you must enable the "Online Signature" option in aMule's preferences. Otherwise there's literally nothing to show and she's just standing there. Enable it. Do it. For me. 💖

💅 the options (they're listed inside DESCRIPTION, we don't make the rules)

  • -o, --picture, -P — writes the online signature picture. Here's the tea tho: the long form --picture accepts an optional =<PATH> to specify the output location, but the short forms -o / -P do not. -P requires an immediately following <PATH> argument, and -o is a no-argument switch. Also 🔥 important 🔥: this requires GD support compiled in (__GD__); this option is silently ignored otherwise. Not a warning, not a gentle hint, just silence. She ghosts you. 😭
  • -p, --html, -H — HTML page with stats and picture. Same deal as above: the long form --html accepts an optional =<PATH> to specify the output location; the short forms -p / -H do not. -H requires an immediately following <PATH> argument, and -p is a no-argument switch. She's giving web designer era ✨
  • -c <path>, --config-dir=<path> — read config from <path> instead of home. For when you wanna be somewhere else, spiritually and configurationally 🧚
  • -h, --help — prints a short usage description. She's helpful, she's brief, she's everything 👑

And like — without any options, it prints online signature data to stdout. That's it. Default mode is just "here's your data, bestie." Simple. Elegant. Ate. 🌈

Oh and also, cas was written by Pedro de Oliveira <falso@rdk.homeip.net>. Shoutout to the king who built her, we owe him everything fr fr 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • ~/.aMule/casrc
  • aMule-online-sign.png (or .jpg, when -o / --picture is used and GD is available) — the format switches up depending on whether GD said yes 💜
  • aMule-online-sign.html (when -p / --html is used)
