💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, let me introduce you to gm_ctl_client — it's the GNUmed XML-RPC connector for legacy applications ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gm_ctl_client [--log-file=FILE] [--conf-file=FILE] [--text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN] [--lang-gettext=LANGUAGE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So gm_ctl_client is literally this tiny little helper program that acts as a client for the XML-RPC API of the GNUmed client 💅

And the way this API is useful? Third-party software can use it to remote control a GNUmed client. Like, yes, actual remote control, no cap 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --text-domain=TEXTDOMAIN — set this when you wanna change the name of the language file that gets loaded, bestie. and ngl, important detail: this does not change the directory the file is searched in — only the name of the file where messages are loaded from 🫶 the standard textdomain is, of course, "gnumed.mo". and you only need to specify the base name of the file, no .mo extension, okay? 💖
• --log-file=FILE — use this to change the name of the log file 🌈 the default log file would be <~/.gnumed/gnumed.log>.
• --conf-file=FILE — use configuration file FILE instead of searching for it in standard locations 🔥
• --lang-gettext=LANGUAGE — explicitly set the language to use in gettext translation ✨ and the very same effect can be achieved by setting the environment variable $LANG from a launcher script. two roads, same destination, iykyk 💅

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• LANG, LC_MESSAGES, etc. — see gettext(1) for how the various locale related environment variables work 🧚

🎀 FILES 🎀

• ~/.gm_ctl_client/gm_ctl_client.log — the default log file 📝
• ~/.gm_ctl_client/gm_ctl_client.conf — the default configuration file 🗂️
