💖 greflector(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, so greflector is literally the "everyone hears everything" friend of the group chat. it's a program that reflects data to all connections. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

greflector — a program that will reflect data to all connections 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

greflector [-c] [-t] <gensio accepter> [<gensio accepter> [...]]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — greflector accepts gensio connections on the accepters you hand it. and for all of those connections, whenever data comes in, it sends that data right back out to all the other connections. like a group chat where every message gets broadcast to everyone. no cap, it's giving switchboard energy. 🔥

it's useful for debugging, fr fr. for instance, say you wanted to simulate an AX25 KISS TNC connection and the air connecting them, and you also wanted to observe the data — you could do this:

$ greflector -t kiss,tcp,1234

and if you wanna make a connection instead of accept one? use the conacc gensio. go peep gensio(5) for the details, iykyk. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -c — when all the connections have closed, shut down the reflector. bye bye bestie 💅
• -t — trace all connections and incoming data to stdout. so you can see everything, like the nosy icon you are (affectionate) 🙈✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

gensio(5)

✨ KNOWN PROBLEMS ✨

None. 💀 literally zero. we love a flawless queen. not me being obsessed with a program with no known problems 🎀
