GUACCTL(1)

📦 version 1.3.0, in ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💅 GUACCTL — the Guacamole control utility, bestie edition

okay so welcome to the guacctl page, part of the User Commands crew, and honestly? she's niche but she serves. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

guacctl — the Guacamole control utility. that's her. that's the whole name. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

guacctl [OPTION] [FILE or NAME]...

like. options first if you have them, then whatever files or names you're throwing at her. simple. iconic. 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so real talk: guacctl is the utility you use to send Guacamole-specific console codes for controlling a terminal session. she's basically whispering secret little messages into your session to make it do stuff, like:

  • Downloading files (SSH only, so don't come for her if you're on something else 🙈)
  • Setting the destination directory for uploads (also SSH only, yes she's picky 💅)
  • Redirecting output to a named pipe stream (SSH or telnet, so she can share 🫶)

and here's the plot twist: this script can also be run as guacget. when you do that, she accepts no options — zero, none, don't even try — and she just assumes that anything you put on the commandline is a file to be downloaded. main character energy tbh. 🌟

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -d FILE... — download each of the files listed. plural. she's ready. 💜
  • -s DIRECTORY — set the destination directory for future uploaded files. future ones. she's planning ahead bestie. 🍓
  • -o NAME — redirect output to a new pipe stream with the given name. fresh stream, fresh vibe. 🌈
  • -c — close any existing pipe stream and redirect output back to the terminal emulator. closing time, everyone out. 🎀
