💖 GMOTIONLIVE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for gmotionlive, a lil command from the General Commands Manual section (section 1, iykyk). it's a simple multipart/x-mixed-replace viewer and honestly? it's giving humble icon energy. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gmotionlive — a simple multipart/x-mixed-replace viewer 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gmotionlive url [description]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two things, one of them optional. we love a low-maintenance main character 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • url — the URL of the multipart stream, bestie. it goes a lil something like this:
'http://me!secret@127.0.0.1:8000/stream.cgi'

(yes, that's a real example, keep it exactly like that, the me!secret part is the user and password, no cap 🔥)

  • description — alternative text that gets displayed instead of the URL. so instead of the whole ugly URL showing up you can have your window title saying like, 'front door'. imagine. iconic behaviour fr fr 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so this manual page is a brief lil document of gmotionlive. fun fact: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so we made one. you're welcome. 🫶

gmotionlive is a multipart/x-mixed-replace viewer. it uses gnomevfs to open a stream, and then it displays the downloaded parts. that's the whole trick, and honestly it eats 💅

it was originally written as a viewer for the motion program — http://motion.sourceforge.net — but it should be usable for other sources too, like network cameras. so like, if you've got a camera situation, this might be your girl 🌸

🎀 AUTHOR 🎀

this manual page was originally written by Maximiliano Curia <maxy@gnuservers.com.ar> for the Debian GNU/Linux system. thank you for your service bestie 🫡

so that's the whole page. no plot twists, no hidden flags, just a tiny tool doing exactly what it says on the tin. periodt. ✨

gmotionlive — this whole thing is dated June 18, 2007, and it's version-of-record is the GMOTIONLIVE(1) page from the General Commands Manual, so go forth and stream responsibly 💖🦋🌸
