✨ EXIM4-LOCALSCAN-PLUGIN-CONFIG ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to exim4-localscan-plugin-config(1) — the little Debian-specific helper that tells you everything you need to know to build and package exim4 plugins. she's tiny, she's specific, she's lowkey iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

exim4-localscan-plugin-config — get information necessary to build and package exim4 plugins 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

exim4-localscan-plugin-config --localscan-abiversion

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so exim4-localscan-plugin-config is a tool that's used to determine various things needed to build plugins (shared libraries, yes, the actual .so girlies) for the Exim MTA. 🫶

currently there is one such plugin API — the local_scan API. and like, plot twist: in addition to local_scan plugins, this API is also available to shared libraries used with the ${dlfunc ...} expansion item. the way that one API serves two whole use cases?? multitasking queen. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

since exim4-localscan-plugin-config is Debian(TM)-specific, it currently takes a single mandatory option parameter. no vibes-only invocation, bestie, you gotta pass the flag. 😤

• --localscan-apiversion — outputs the API/ABI version, which gets written as ver. 📦 packages containing local_scan plugins should depend on exim4-localscanapi-ver.

ngl the synopsis spells it --localscan-abiversion and the options section spells it --localscan-apiversion and i am simply reporting what the page says, i am not the one who did this 💀 both spellings are up there exactly as written, iykyk.
