MAQINDEX_SOCKS(1)

✨ MAQINDEX_SOCKS ✨

okay bestie, so this one is maqindex_socks 💅 and it's giving... maqview client-server support, which is a whole vibe. basically it's the little matchmaker that lets maqview talk between a server and a client, and we're gonna walk through it together 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🖥️ Setup Server

first up, the server side. you start it like this, and yes the order matters, don't come for me:

maqindex_socks -s  <port> <map file> [<cns file> [<width> [<height>]]]

so you've got -s for server mode, then a <port>, then your <map file> — that one's required, no skipping. after that it's all optional and nested like little matryoshka dolls: <cns file>, then <width>, then <height>. if you want width you gotta give the cns file first, iykyk ✨

🦋 Run Client

and now the client side, the main character of the operation:

maqindex_socks -c  <host> <port> [<ref_id> <start> <end>]

-c means client mode, and you hit it with a <host> and a <port> — both required, both non-negotiable. then the trio of optional besties: <ref_id>, *<start>, *<end>. they come as a package deal in that order, so if you're specifying a range you better bring all three 🎀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manpage was written by Andreas Tille for the Debian distribution, and the way he just... gave it to everyone — it can be used for any other usage of the program too. iconic behavior honestly, no gatekeeping, we love to see it 💜

so yeah, that's the whole thing. go connect some servers to some clients, you got this 🌈

maqindex_socks 0.2.5 — December 2015 — and that's the vibe check, periodt 💖✨🦋
