CHEZDAV(1)

💖 CHEZDAV(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the chezdav manual page (that's section 1 of the manual, iykyk) — and honestly? this one's a little icon.

---

✨ NAME ✨

chezdav — a simple WebDAV server. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chezdav [OPTIONS...]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So the chezdav(1) command starts a WebDAV server, no cap. What does that actually mean for you? It means clients can access your files and modify them too — not just look, but touch. and the cutest part? a simple Web browser is literally sufficient to browse for files. that's all you need. main character energy from your browser fr.

The default shared folder is your home directory 🏠 — but if you want to serve something else, you may specifiy a different folder with the -P option. (yes, that's how it's spelled in the original, we're keeping it 💅)

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -P, --path=PATH — path to export. this is the folder you're sharing with the world 🫶
• -p, --port=PORT — port to listen from. by default, a port is allocated randomly, which is lowkey convenient 🎲
• --local — listen on loopback interface only. just you and your machine, cozy introvert mode 🙈
• --public — listen on all network interfaces. extrovert mode activated, everyone's invited 🔥
• --no-mdns — don't broadcast the share on the local network. by default, shares are broadcast with mDNS/DNS-SD (when compiled with Avahi). so if you're feeling shy, this is your flag 🤫
• -d, --htdigest=PATH — path to a htdigest file, to secure the server with DIGEST authentication. security era 🔐
• --realm=REALM — the DIGEST realm string (must be identical to the string used in the htdigest file). the default value is "USER’s public share" (where USER is the owner’s username of the current process). ⚠️ note: identical means identical, bestie, don't go freestyling with it
• -v, --verbose — verbosely print running information. for when you simply must know everything 👀
• --version — print program version number. slay 💅

---

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

• 0 — Success ✨ (you ate)
• 1 — Failure (syntax or usage error; unexpected error). 💀 it happens to the best of us
