🦋 NNTPTEST(1) 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the nntptest manual page — it lives in the NNTPTEST(1) section and it's part of the Cyrus IMAP documentation. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

nntptest — Cyrus IMAP documentation 🎀

it's an interactive NNTP test program. that's the whole assignment, fr fr.

and here's the lil plot twist that makes it iconic: it is actually installed as a hard linked copy of imtest(1). not a cousin, not a lookalike — a hard link. same file, two names, main character energy 👑

what's it for? it allows you to authenticate and send NNTP commands to the server. that's it, that's the vibe. you talk to the server, the server talks back 🫶

and when you're done poking at it, go peek at nntpd(8) — the server side of the situationship 😭
