💖 hpigensimdata(1) — the OpenHPI girlie's guide 💖

okay so real talk, bestie, this whole page is about hpigensimdata, one of the OpenHPI client apps, and it's basically the dynamic simulator plugin's hype-woman. she reads your current config and spits out data for it. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hpigensimdata [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] [-r res_id] [-f filename] [-m UPD|INIT] [-h]
hpigensimdata [--domain=nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file]
              [--resource=res_id] [--file=filename] [--mode=UPD|INIT] [--help]

like, two ways to say the same thing — short flags or long flags, pick your fighter 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

hpigensimdata generates data for the dynamic simulator plugin by reading the current configuration. she will print all HPI information in a format that can be parsed by the Dynamic Simulator plugin. and because nobody wants to do extra work, to spare some encoding/decoding function, values of enums are printed as int values instead of encode them to ASCII values and decode them afterwards — no cap, that's literally what the page says, the ints stay ints 😌

since this client is primarily for the Dynamic Simulator, the output functions don't depend on the oh_.. - output function. which is honestly iconic of her, because that means they can be easily changed without influence on other clients. main character energy fr 💅

please refer to README and detailed documentation with the plugin. she's not gonna explain everything twice, go read the docs bestie 📖

if no domain or host is selected, ohparam uses the default domain as specified in the openhpiclient.conf file. (yes, the page really does say ohparam there — quoting it exactly, don't come for me 🙈)

if no file name is specified, the data is displayed on console. so, you know, it just yells into your terminal instead 🗣️

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 Help Options:

• -h, --help — show help options. the classic "wait what does this do again" button 🆘

🦋 Application Options:

• -r res_id, --resource=res_id — select particular resource id for an update file. you're picking one specific resource to go in there 🎯
• -f filename, --file=filename — name of the file to be generated. this is where the output goes, so name it something cute ✨
• -m UPD|INIT, --mode=UPD|INIT — write update or initial file. those are the only two moods she has: UPD or INIT 🔥
• -D nn, --domain=nn — select domain id nn. just tell her which domain, nn is the number 💫
• -N "host[:port]", --host="host[:port]" — open session to the domain served by the daemon at the specified URL (host:port). this option overrides the OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST and OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT environment variables. if host contains ':' (for example IPv6 address) then enclose it in square brackets. for example: "[::1]" or "[::1]:4743". brackets, bestie, do not forget the brackets 😭
• -C "file", --cfgfile="file" — use passed file as client configuration file. this option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT_CONF environment variable. she overrides the env var, she said so herself 👑
