GNUAISGUI(1)

💖 GNUAISGUI 💖

okay so bestie, we're doing gnuaisgui(1) today — it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. tiny page, huge energy. let's get into it 🌸

🌟 NAME 🌟

gnuaisgui — the GUI for gnuais ✨

like, that's it. that's the whole name section. she's concise. she knows what she is. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gnuaisgui

that's the entire invocation, no cap. just type her name and go 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so first things first: this manual page is the little quick doc for the gnuaisgui program — it's the brief rundown, not the whole novel 📖

so gnuais is the tool that demodulates and decodes AIS messages, and it does that by reading from the line/mic input of your sound card 🎧 (yes, the actual sound card, like, audio in, radio magic out, iconic behaviour).

and this program — gnuaisgui — is the pretty part: it plots the vessels on a map sourced from OpenStreetMap 🗺️ boats on a map!! vessel main character energy fr fr 🚢✨

🚨 IMPORTANT BESTIE ALERT 🚨 gnuais MUST be started before gnuaisgui is started. like, MUST must. capital letters in the original, capital letters in my heart 💀 start gnuais first or the GUI's just gonna be standing there like 🧍‍♀️ with nothing to show.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

There are no command line options. zero. none. nada. she takes no arguments, she takes no flags, she just is 🌈

(no -h, no --help, no secret little toggles hiding in there — genuinely just vibes and a window 💖)
