💖 dsc-psl-convert(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a General Commands Manual page for dsc-psl-convert, and it's literally the glow-up machine that turns a Public Suffix List (PSL) into a DSC TLD List. we're doing this together, grab a snack 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

dsc-psl-convert — Convert Public Suffix List (PSL) to DSC TLD List

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dsc-psl-convert [ options ] [ PSL file ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It converts a Public Suffix List (PSL) into a DSC TLD List, and it drops the result on stdout. that's the whole vibe.

If you don't hand it a PSL, it'll use the one already installed on your system — for example, on Debian/Ubuntu the package publicsuffix will be installed in /usr/share/publicsuffix. no need to go hunting, bestie, it already has one 💅

If you pass - as the file, it reads from stdin instead. classic.

You can also download the PSL yourself from https://publicsuffix.org/ if you're feeling main character energy.

The PSL gets converted into the TLD list format (peep dsc.conf(5) for that) like this:

• Exceptions (!name) are ignored 🙈
• Single label suffixes are ignored
• Wildcards (*.) are removed before processing
• All labels will be encoded in IDN/punycode

---

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --all — Include all names found in the PSL file. The default is to stop after ICANN domains (===END ICANN DOMAINS===). so if you want the whole thing, you gotta say so.
• --no-skip-idna-err — Report errors when it's trying to convert international domain names into ASCII (punycode). The default is to just ignore those errors. loud mode, activated.
• -h|--help — Show help and exit. the classic. 🫶

---

🎀 OUTPUT FORMAT 🎀

The output format used for DSC's tld_list conf option is literally just one line per suffix. it also supports commenting out an entry with #.

For example:

co.uk
net.au
#net.cn

---

🌈 EXAMPLE SETUP 🌈

This example fetches the Public Suffix List and converts it in-place into a DSC TLD list, stores it in /etc/dsc, and configures DSC to use that. full send 🚀

wget -O - https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat | \
  dsc-psl-convert - > /etc/dsc/tld.list
echo "tld_list /etc/dsc/tld.list;" >> /etc/dsc/dsc.conf
