MEWSTUNNEL(1)

✨ MEWSTUNNEL ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to mewstunnel</... wait, no closing tag issue β€” let me just write it properly.

Let me write out the page.


πŸ’– MEWSTUNNEL πŸ’–

hi bestie 🫢 you've landed on the mewstunnel page, from the General Commands Manual β€” that's section 1 of the man pages, iykyk. it's giving "tiny script, big job." let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

mewstunnel β€” a wrapper script for stunnel, made for Mew πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mewstunnel [options]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so, the mewstunnel utility is literally just a wrapper script for using stunnel 🌈. you need this command for the mew-ssl feature, because somebody's gotta keep a process of stunnel alive and it's not gonna be you 😭. main character energy, honestly.

the options? yeah, they're for stunnel4 or stunnel. we don't make the rules, we just pass them along πŸ’…

here's the vibe check on how it picks which one to run:

  • if stunnel4 is installed, it gets executed πŸ”₯
  • if stunnel4 is not installed, stunnel gets executed
  • and if the MEW_PROG_STUNNEL environment variable is set, that one gets executed instead πŸ‘‘
🚨 heads up bestie: stunnel 5.x is provided by the stunnel4 package in Debian. so don't be out here confused when the version number and the package name don't match β€” that's just how it is, no cap πŸ’€

πŸ’€ BUGS πŸ’€

  • this command is provided by Debian 🐧
  • this command is not integrated in the upstream source πŸ™ˆ

like, it's Debian's baby, not upstream's baby. that's the whole tea β˜•

and that's the whole page, bestie!! πŸ¦‹ this one was written back on September 3, 2014 β€” like, ancient history in internet years 😭 β€” and it comes to you from the General Commands Manual for MEWSTUNNEL(1). slay, go keep that stunnel process alive πŸ’–βœ¨πŸ‘‘
