LTUNIFY(1)

🌸 LTUNIFY(1) β€” Logitech Unifying tool 🌸

okay bestie, listen. this is ltunify, a lil command-line baddie from the General Commands Manual section 1, and it's here to help you talk to your Logitech Unifying receiver. she's tiny, she's powerful, she's giving main character energy. let's get into it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

ltunify β€” Logitech Unifying tool

like. that's literally her job. Logitech. Unifying. Tool. iconic, no notes πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ltunify [-d path] [-D] [-h] command

so the vibe is: you call ltunify, you maybe sprinkle in some flags, and then you tell her what command you want. simple as that πŸ¦‹

ngl the page does not explain what -d path, -D and -h do, and I am NOT about to make stuff up for you. those flags are in the synopsis, they are real, and that's all we're getting. periodt πŸ’€

✨ COMMANDS ✨

these are the actual moves. pick one, she'll do the thing:

  • list β€” shows you every single device that's already paired. the whole roster. the group chat. everybody's here πŸ‘‘
  • pair [timeout] β€” she'll try to pair a new device within timeout seconds. the range is 1 to 255, and it defaults to 0, which is lowkey just an alias for 30s. so if you say nothing, you get thirty seconds to do your lil pairing dance 🧚
  • unpair idx β€” breaks up with a device. unpaired. it's not you it's the receiver πŸ’”
  • info idx β€” spills the tea on one specific device. more detailed information, just for that one πŸ“
  • receiver-info β€” and this one? this one's about the receiver itself. show information about the receiver. the whole plug, not just the friends connected to it πŸ’–

🌈 about that idx thing 🌈

okay so when we say idx up there? that means the device number β€” the one showing in the first column of the list command. it lives between 1 and 6, so your options are cute and limited, love that for us ✨

but WAIT. plot twist. you can also just use these names instead, and yes, they're case-insensitive, so KEYBOARD, keyboard, KeYbOaRd β€” she does not care, she gets it 😌

  • Keyboard
  • Mouse
  • Numpad
  • Presenter
  • Trackball
  • Touchpad

six names, six slots, the math is mathing πŸ”₯


heads up bestie: no extra options are documented here, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no examples, no SEE ALSO. this page is short and she knows it. don't go looking for lore that isn't there πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page!! πŸ’– this lovely thing lives under the Linux manual and the page itself is dated May 30, 2020 β€” so shoutout to that little timestamp, she's been holding it down since then. go forth and pair something, you've got this 🫢⭐
