✨ GNUNET-GNS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to gnunet-gns — she's the one from the General Commands Manual and she is here to give you access to the GNU Name System 💅 no cap

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnunet-gns — access to GNU Name System 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gnunet-gns [-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-h | --help]
           [-L LOGLEVEL | --loglevel=LOGLEVEL]
           [-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME] [-r | --raw]
           [-t TYPE | --type=TYPE] [-u NAME | --lookup=NAME]
           [-v | --version]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically gnunet-gns is your girl for looking up and processing GNU Name Service names. that's the whole vibe. let's get into the flags, because there are a few and they all ate 🔥

• -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the config file FILENAME. yes queen, tell her where your config lives 🫶
• -h, --help — prints a short lil help thing about the options. when in doubt, ask for help, that's main character energy ✨
• -L LOGLEVEL, --loglevel=LOGLEVEL — use LOGLEVEL for logging. the valid values are DEBUG, INFO, WARNING and ERROR. pick your drama level 💀
• -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — write logs to FILENAME. like, journaling, but make it sysadmin 📝
• -r, --raw — no unneeded output. this is the quiet mode where only the important info shows up. for example, a lookup for an IP address will only yield the IP address, no descriptive text. it's giving minimalism, she said less is more 💅
• -t TYPE, --type=TYPE — the Resource Record Type (TYPE) to look for. the supported TYPE's are: A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, PKEY, PSEU, TLSA, SRV, SOA, MX, LEHO, VPN, REV, PTR, TXT. and it defaults to "A" ⭐
• -u NAME, --lookup=NAME — the name to lookup. resolve the specified name using the GNU Name System. this is the whole point bestie, this is THE moment 🌈
• -T TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT — how much time to wait for a resolution to finish. example: "5s" for 5 seconds or "3m" for 3 minutes. it defaults to "forever" (no timeout). yes, literally forever, she will wait for you like a loyal icon 👑
• -v, --version — print the GNUnet version number. slay, now you know what you're working with 🎀
