CWNNSTAT(1)

💖 CWNNSTAT(1) — the group chat manual page 💖

okay bestie, so the manual name is cwnnstat and it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? she's a little icon. she does one thing and she does it slayfully. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

cwnnstat — to show the current status of cserver. periodt. that's the whole job. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cwnnstat  [-w] [-e] [-E] [-f] [-F] [-d] [-D]
          [-L lang ] [ hostname ]

look at her. so compact. so demure. so mindful. 💅

🎀 DEFAULT PATH 🎀

/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/cwnnstat

that's where she lives. that's her address. no cap. 🏠

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, you use this to request the current execution status of the cserver for the current host. it's giving "hey server, what's good, are you thriving" and the server answers back. main character energy fr fr.

and if you specify a hostname? then the status of that specified host will be given instead. the way that you can just... ask about a whole other host. obsessed. 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -w — lists the username, hostname, socket number and the environment number. the whole identity package, basically. 💖
• -e — lists the environment number, environment name and reference count. nice and simple, a lil snack. ✨
• -E — the deluxe version: lists the environment number, environment name, reference count, grammar file number, number of dictionary used, (list of dictionary numbers) and the numbers of the files used in the current environment. she's thorough. she ate. 🔥
• -f — lists the file ID of each cWnn file in the cserver, the file type, the location of file, reference count and the filename. receipts for every file. 🧾
• -F — same as -f option. literally the same. twins. identical. no notes. 🫶
• -d — lists the dictionary number of dictionaries managed by the host, the dictionary type, dictionary file number, dictionary filename, usage frequency filename and usage frequency file number. a whole dictionary deep dive. 📚
• -D — the maximum chaos mode: lists the dictionary number, type, conversion method, number of entries, static/dynamic, current usage status, priority, alias, filename, [(alias:usage frequency filename)], [password (frequency password)] of the dictionaries. that's a LOT and she's not sorry. 😭
• -L — to specify the language name which is referred during selection of cserver. if no lang is specified, the one specified by the environment variable LANG will be used. the default is "zh_CN". so if you say nothing, she assumes "zh_CN" like a queen with a favourite. 👑

💀 NOTE 💀

1. the command options inside [ ] shown in the Command Format indicates that they are optional. if they are not required, "cwnnstat" alone is sufficient to obtain the status of cserver. bare minimum works, bestie. lowkey the vibe. 🙈
2. dictionary number is different from file number. and this is important so listen up:
   • file number refers to the standardized number among all cWnn files.
   • dictionary number refers to the logical dictionary number in the server.
3. one dictionary file may consist of different usage frequency files, and each will form an individual dictionary. so one file, many dictionaries. it's giving multitudes. 🌸
4. one dictionary file with different conversion methods (forward/reverse) will form different dictionaries. same file, different method, different dictionary. iconic behaviour honestly. 💜

lowkey a warning-ish moment: those [ ] brackets in the synopsis are doing real work — they mean optional. don't come for me if you skipped them. 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one's from 13 May 1992 and the source/version tag on the bottom of the original was CWNNSTAT(1). so yeah — vintage, but still slaying. 🎀✨🦋 no cap.
