💖 EVENTS(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to events — the lil manual page for the command that streams events from or to a CORBA EventChannel. yes we're doing CORBA in the big year of our lord, don't question it, it ate. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

events — stream events from or to a CORBA EventChannel 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

events [-n channel-name] [-s] [-h] [-ORBparameter value] [channel-uri]

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so events does one of two things, depending on your vibe:

• it streams events from an event channel out to standard output, or
• with -s, it streams events from standard input into an event channel.

no cap, that's the whole personality.

Events get streamed in raw binary form, and every one of them comes with a timestamp riding along. when you play that stream back into a channel, those timestamps are literally used to replicate the original delays between the messages — like, the timing is preserved, periodt. ⏱️✨

the main use for this command is to record sets of events and play them back later for testing. it's giving "tape recorder but make it CORBA."

Recording example:

events corbaname::#EventChannel > test.dat

Playback example:

events -s corbaname::#EventChannel < test.dat

look at you go, you're a whole archivist now 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -n channel-name — the CORBA Name Service name used to look up the EventChannel CORBA object. iykyk.

format for channel-name: [CONTEXT-ID[.CONTEXT-KIND]/]*OBJECT-ID[.OBJECT-KIND]

examples: foo, foo.bar, foo.bar/baz/qux, foo/bar/baz.qux.

the default is EventChannel 🫶

• -s — supply mode. read events from standard input. that's the "play it back" era of your life.
• -h — display a short summary of command-line options. the lil cheat sheet, we love her 💖
• -ORBparameter value — standard omniORB options. see omniORB documentation for details, bestie, that's where the lore lives. this option is commonly used to set the omniORB traceLevel, so you can get more detailed output. she's nosy and we respect it 🔍

example: -ORBtraceLevel 5

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

• OMNIORB_CONFIG — the location of the omniORB configuration file. that's it, that's the whole env var, she's lowkey carrying the whole setup 🎀
