NaCl(1)

🧂 NaCl(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is one of those pages from the General Commands Manual (that's the manual name, she's fancy like that ✨) and honestly? she's short but she delivers. let's get into it, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

CurveCP — Message-handling programs

like, that's the whole vibe. CurveCP. handling messages. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

curvecpmakekey [keydir]

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. short queen 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the CurveCP commands. yes bestie, briefly — she's not gonna overstay her welcome 😌

so here's the lore, and it's actually important, listen up 🫶:

A traditional UNIX-style server such as ftpd handles just one network connection, reading input from stdin and writing output to stdout. one connection, one job, very focused, very "I have a single responsibility" of her 🌈

A "superserver" such as inetd or tcpserver is different — she listens for network connections and starts a separate server process for each connection. so she's not doing the work herself, she's the one handing out the work. main character energy fr fr 👑

and then, curvecpprintkey — okay so she prints an ascii version of binary keys. those keys are needed for curvecpclient and curvecpserver, and they're created using the curvecpmakekey command before you go calling curvecpprintkey. so like, make the key first, then print it. order matters, bestie, don't skip steps 🙈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

how to use curvecpprintkey, in list form because we love structure:

• keydir — a directory where CurveCP binary keys were created. that's it, that's the arg. point her at the place where your keys live and she'll do her thing 💖
