💅 man(1) — General Commands Manual, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, this page lives in the General Commands Manual as man(1), and it's literally all about one program: huggle. Yes the header says man(1) and the NAME says huggle — she contains multitudes, we move. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

huggle — launch huggle. that's it. that's the whole name section. iconic minimalism. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

huggle [-vh]

short, sweet, and to the point — she ate. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Huggle is an anti-vandalism software — specifically a fast diff browser for use with MediaWiki software — for use on Wikimedia projects or any MediaWiki based wiki. 🫶

It requires an X server to run. (no X server, no huggle, that's the vibe check. 😭)

You can find more information about huggle on its web page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle — go read it, iykyk. 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

You can use the following arguments to change the runtime settings:

• -h, --help — Display help for the program and its license. babes, always read the license. 👑
• --version, -V — Display a version. 🏷️
• -v — Increases verbosity. You can use multiple -v parameters to make the verbosity level much higher. ⚠️ but heads up: if you use high verbosity, the performance will be significantly slower unless you combine this with --dot mode. not me warning you twice. 💀
• --fuzzy — Enable fuzzy localizations (these which were translated in past but which were not updated since the source text has changed). 🧚
• --safe — Start huggle in special mode where a lot of stuff is skipped during load. chilling, but make it loadable. 🌈
• --chroot <path> — Changes the home path of huggle to a given folder, so that huggle reads a different configuration file and uses different data. new home, new me. 🏠
• --login — Can be used in combination of --login-file only; this will tell huggle to start the login process immediately without letting you change any login preferences on the login form. no take-backs, periodt. 🙈
• --login-file — Read a username and password from plain text file, separated by a colon.

🫶 real talk: right after that, the original page has this stray lil fragment sitting there: "warnings found in localization files. This option is useful for developers and people who create localization files." — it's giving copy-paste chaos, but i'm keeping it fr fr because the rule is every detail stays. 💀

• --syslog [file] — Will write a logs to a file. You can specify the file name. In case that no file is provided, huggle.log is used. 📝

🎀 Debugging options 🎀

• --dot — Debug on terminal only mode, in this mode debug lines are only stored on terminal. This is a very useful option in case that use are using high verbosity level. 🔥 (yes, pair it with your -v -v -v, that's the whole point bestie.)
• --qd [file] — Write all transferred data to a file. 🍓
• --language-test — Will perform CPU expensive language test on startup, which reports warnings found in localization files. This option is useful for developers and people who create localization files. 🧠💅

⚠️ Note: every argument in [brackets] is optional but argument in <brackets> is required!!!! (four exclamation marks, she is screaming this at you, and honestly? deserved. 😭)
