GNUNET-BCD(1)

💖 GNUNET-BCD 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to gnunet-bcd(1) — it's a page from the General Commands Manual and it's genuinely so fun, i promise. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

gnunet-bcd — spins up an HTTP server so you can make GNS business cards. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gnunet-bcd [-p PORT | --port=PORT] [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME]
           [-h | --help] [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL]
           [-v | --version]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, gnunet-bcd lets you create a business card that has a QR code on it, and that QR code contains the public key of a zone from the GNU Name System. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

BUT. and this is the part where i need you to listen, bestie: gnunet-bcd requires LaTeX — that's pdflatex(1) — and it needs a whole bunch of packages installed alongside it. not optional, no cap. 😭

if it's not working for you, the move is to try installing the full TeXLive distribution first. like, for example, if you're using the package manager apt(1), you'd run:

apt-get install texlive-full

and then hopefully everything slays. 🫶

• -p PORT, --port=PORT — run the HTTP server on port PORT. pick your port, own your port, be the main character of that port. 🔥
• -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration file FILENAME. yes queen, bring your own config.
• -h, --help — prints a short help thing about the options. a lil snack of information. 🍓
• -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — use LOGLEVEL for logging. the valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR — that's the whole list, don't try to freestyle anything else. 👑
• -v, --version — prints the GNUnet version number. that's it, that's all it does, and it does it beautifully. ✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the full documentation for gnunet lives in a Texinfo manual. if the info(1) program and the gnunet programs are properly installed at your site, then this command:

info gnunet

should give you access to the complete handbook. and then this one:

info gnunet-c-tutorial

gets you access to a tutorial for developers. so if you're the dev type, that's your girl. 🧚

depending on how your installation is set up, all of this info is also available in gnunet(7) and gnunet-c-tutorial(7).

✨ BUGS ✨

found a bug? 💀 don't just sit there, report it! you can do it by using https://bugs.gnunet.org or by sending electronic mail to ⟨gnunet-developers@gnu.org⟩. the devs will literally thank you. 🙈

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that. this one came from the Debian people, dated December 5, 2013 — throwback era fr fr. now go make some QR code business cards and be iconic. 💜🦋🌸
