HSDump(1)

💖 HSDump(1) — the handlespace dumper ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is hsdump, a little chaos goblin from the General Commands Manual family, and she is very good at exactly one thing: snooping on a RSerPool Registrar 👀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hsdump — dumps the handlespace of a RSerPool Registrar. that's it. that's the job. no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hsdump [-address:port] [-cspserver=address:port]
       [-cspinterval=milliseconds] [-logappend=filename]
       [-logcolor=on|off] [-logfile=filename] [-loglevel=0-9]

like, she takes a bunch of optional stuff. she's low-maintenance in that way. queen behavior 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: hsdump dumps the handlespace of a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) Registrar (PR). how? she literally just claims to be a peer registrar and then requests the handlespace via ENRP. it's giving fake-it-till-you-make-it, but for network protocols 💀

⚠️ Handle with care! — no seriously bestie, the original says this and I am not editing the drama out. be careful with this one.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

The following options are available:

• address:port — the ENRP address and port of the target registrar. yes, both. she needs directions 🗺️

💜 Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters 💜

• -cspinterval=milliseconds — sets the interval for the CSP status updates, measured in milliseconds. by default she uses whatever's in the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL. and if that's not defined? no CSP status reports get sent at all. silence. nada. 🫥
• -cspserver=address:port — sets the address of a CSP monitor server. by default she takes whatever's in the environment variable CSP_SERVER. if that's not defined either, well… again, no CSP status reports will be sent. the monitor is getting ghosted 🙈

🌈 Logging Parameters 🌈

• -logappend=filename — write logging output to a file (default is stdout); the output will be appended to the given file. nothing gets deleted, we're just adding to the pile 🧺
• -logcolor=on|off — turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off. aesthetic choices only ✨
• -logfile=filename — write logging output to a file (default is stdout); the given file will be overwritten. rip whatever was in there before, she is not gentle 😭
• -loglevel=0-9 — sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) all the way to 9 (very verbose). and fr fr, use at least 2 if you want to actually see the possibly important error messages and warnings. trust, you want that 👑

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

hsdump uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send reports to, in the specified interval. that's the whole setup, bestie, she's keeping it cute and configurable 🍓

---

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

If loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified log file. so if you set it above zero and you're seeing nothing, check where you pointed the output 👀
