✨ NAME ✨

gnunet-conversation — have a conversation with your peers 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gnunet-conversation [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME]
                    [-e NAME | --ego=NAME] [-h | --help]
                    [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL]
                    [-p LINE | --phone=LINE] [-v | --version] ⟨URI⟩

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so gnunet-conversation is the tool you use to, like, actually have a conversation with other GNUnet users. you can make calls, you can receive incoming calls — full main character energy on the telecom grind 💅

but first: you need to set up an ego using gnunet-identity before any of this works. no ego, no vibes, no calls. and for other people to be able to call you, you have to add a PHONE record to your zone in the GNU Name System — you do that with gnunet-namestore. yes, it's a whole little setup arc. slay, it's worth it 🎀

also, gnunet-conversation has an interactive help system via the /help command, so if you're ever lost mid-conversation just type that. it's giving "self-sufficient icon" fr fr.

🎧 the options, one by one (don't skip, there's only six) 🌈

• -c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME — use the configuration file FILENAME. that's the whole thing. it's your config, your rules 💖
• -e NAME | --ego=NAME — specifies the NAME of the ego to use, and that's for your caller ID. so yes, your ego is quite literally your identity here. iconic, honestly 👑
• -h | --help — print short help on options. short help, big heart 🫶
• -L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — use LOGLEVEL for logging. valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR. pick your chaos level accordingly — DEBUG is the yapper, ERROR is the "only tell me when it's bad" bestie 😭
• -p LINE | --phone=LINE — optional argument that can be used to specify the phone LINE to be used with the conversation service. the default LINE is zero, which should be fine for most users. so like, if you don't care, don't touch it. zero is the default for a reason ✨
• -v | --version — print GNUnet version number. that's it. cute little flex 💅
