EUTP(1)

💅 EUTP — like, the whole manual bestie 💅

okay so this is eutp from the BrlAPI User's Manual, section 1 (that's your user commands, babes). pull up a chair, we're doing this together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

eutp — EuroBraille file transferring, periodt 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

eutp

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just her 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so eutp lets you exchange files with a Clio terminal from EuroBraile 🦋 like. you got files, the terminal got files, and eutp is the mutual friend making the introductions. iconic behaviour honestly.

✨ COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS ✨

None so far 🙈

literally none. zero. the options section is giving minimalist queen energy and we respect it.

✨ RETURNED VALUE ✨

• 1 — error 😭

that's the whole list. if it goes wrong, you get a 1. no cap.

✨ SHELL EXPANSIONS ✨

okay bestie this is the part you actually need to read, so let's lock in 🔥

⚠️ beware of special chars: * and . are often expanded by your shell, so watch yourself.

here's the tea. sending files * will probably do exactly what you want — it puts every file existing in the current directory onto the terminal ✨. slay, no notes.

but receiving files *? yeah no, that may not do what you want 😭. it will only get every file which already exists in the current directory, and it skips those you just created on your terminal! like, the files you literally just made. gone. ignored. not in this house.

so if you want to get every file which exists in the terminal, you should use '*' or something similar — and please read your shell manual, for real for real 💀.

the same warning applies to other special chars, such as $, ~, &, ... which should be protected by surrounding arguments with quotes (') or by using single backslashes (\) just before them. again: please read your shell manual 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie. go forth and transfer those files responsibly 🌸
