💖 morse-x(1) — the hamradio manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is morse-x, section 1 of the hamradio manual, and it's genuinely one of my faves 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

morse-x — a morse practicing tool 🎀

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

morse-x [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: in morse-x you can use any key on your keyboard as a morse key — except q, because q exits, she's the escape hatch, respect her 💅 — and then it displays your morsed stuff as readable text on stdout. so you key it in, it types it out. iconic.

quick heads up bestie: you should execute morse-x in an X terminal. that's the whole setup, no cap.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

of course morse-x takes some options, some with arguments. see the following list. and listen — a preceding dash (-) is optional. yes really. so morse-x s and morse-x -s are both valid and honestly? she's flexible like that 💅

  • c — tries to find out your number of words per minute. (fr fr, it's like the calibration function in former versions, except it does not save the result — it just tells you your number of words per minute. live in the moment, no receipts.)
  • f frequency — set sound frequency.
  • g — show dits as red dots and dahs as red lines in the main window. visual girlies rise 🍓
  • h — print usage information, the same you can read here. hopefully. 🙈
  • m — mute audio. no audio device will be opened. silent mode, stealth mode, library mode 🧚
  • r samplerate — set audio sample rate.
  • s — show dits as dots and dahs as dashes on stdout. ✨
  • t — show used morse code table and exit. if you have suggestions on that table, please let me know — she's literally asking, she wants the feedback 💜
  • v volume — set sound volume. this must be a value between 0 and 1.
  • w wpm — set words per minute. this must be an integer between 1 and 60.

and a lil lore drop for you: note that older versions (2004*) were written using Xlib instead of libSDL and thus had some other options and no audio output. by the way, the .morse-x file of earlier versions is no longer needed. you may remove it. go ahead, declutter, it's giving spring cleaning 🌸

💀 BUGS 💀

none so far. please report some. 😭 (she said that. that's a direct quote. she's asking you to find them. girl is confident.)
