EB_SERVER_STREAM(1)

πŸ’– eb_server_stream β€” the manual page bestie πŸ’–

okay so this is eb_server_stream(1), a User Commands situation, and honestly? she's giving entropy-collector main character energy. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

eb_server_stream β€” gather entropy πŸ’«

like... she collects entropy. that's the whole vibe. no cap.


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

eb_server_stream v1.0, (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com

so basically, she's an old-school icon (v1.0, born 2009, still slaying through 2012) and here's everything she can do, one flag at a time:

  • -i host β€” the eb-host you wanna connect to. that's it, that's the host πŸ’–
  • -d dev β€” the device to retrieve from. and bestie, "device" is a whole spectrum here: serial port, hw rng device node, etc. she's flexible like that ✨
  • -p pars β€” okay so if your device is a serial device, this one lets you set its parameters: bps,bits. literally just bps,bits, comma and all, no notes πŸ’…
  • -l file β€” log to file file. journaling is self-care πŸŽ€
  • -s β€” log to syslog instead. same energy, different destination 🌸
  • -n β€” do not fork. she stays. she's not leaving. iconic πŸ¦‹
  • -P file β€” the file to write the PID to. so you always know where she's at 🫢
  • -X file β€” the file to read the password from. secrets stay in files, we love a discreet queen πŸ”
no warnings, no bugs, no environment variables in this one β€” she's a simple girl, she just gathers entropy and minds her business 😭

that's the whole page, bestie. nothing skipped, nothing summarised, every single flag accounted for πŸ’―

and fr fr, a lil' sign-off: this whole thing is from the eb_server_stream manual, July 2012, living under User Commands. vintage, but make it slay πŸ‘‘πŸ’œ

go gather that entropy. you got this. periodt ✨
