GEMEXP(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is gemexp(1) from the General Commands Manual, and the command is gemexp — it exports a directory over Gemini. literally that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gemexp [-hRVv] [-d certs-dir] [-H hostname] [-p port] [directory]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

gemexp exports the given directory over the Gemini protocol. It’s intended to be used interactively, mostly for testing purposes — bestie, it’s not the full-fledged daemon, okay? For that, look for gmid(8). Periodt. ✨

The arguments are as follows:

• -d certs-path — the directory where certificates are stored. By default it’s $XDG_DATA_HOME/gemexp, i.e. ~/.local/share/gemexp. 🎀
• -H hostname — the hostname to use; localhost by default. Certificates for the given hostname are searched inside the certs-dir specified with the -d option. The certificate files are named hostname.pem and hostname.key and are implicitly generated if not found. no cap. 🔥
• -h, --help — print the usage and exit. iconic. 💅
• -p port — the port to bind to; 1965 by default. 🦋
• -R — generate an RSA key instead of an EC one. 💀 (in a slay way)
• -V, --version — print the version and exit. 👑
• -v — verbose mode. 🗣️
• directory — the root directory to serve, or the current working directory if not specified. 🌸
