💖 DAVIX-GET — ok bestie, let's download stuff ✨

hey hi hello 👋 this is the manual for davix-get, part of the davix download tool suite (manual section 1). Yes it's a manual page. Yes I made it cute. the facts are all still here tho, no cap 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

davix-get — a download tool based on libdavix 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ok so it's giving two whole modes, pick ur fighter:

davix-get [options]... url
davix-get [options]... url local_file

one is "gimme the bytes", the other is "gimme the bytes and put them here". iconic. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

davix-get is literally a tool to download resources from HTTP, Webdav, or REST compatible services. it's out here doing the most so you don't have to 😌

The command supports the protocol Http (http(s)://), WebDav (dav(s)://) and S3 (s3(s)://). so many schemes, so little time 💅

Target resources can either be a single file or a collection. and if it's a collection?? bestie. all sub-collections will also be downloaded. it's giving "you asked for a folder, you got the whole tree" 🌳

davix-get is powered by libdavix. peek at libdavix(3) for the deets 👑
