💖 NODELIST2LBDB 💖

okay so bestie, you know how FidoNet has its whole ✨ thing ✨ with nodelists? yeah. this is the little script (nodelist2lbdb, from the User Manuals girlies) that takes that whole vibe and turns it into something your address book can actually eat. it's giving glow-up, fr fr. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

nodelist2lbdb — convert Fido nodelist and pointlist to lbdb format

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nodelist2lbdb nodelist.XXX [point24.XXX]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this tiny little script reads in a Fido nodelist named nodelist.XXX — and optionally, if you're feeling extra, a Fido point list named points24.YYY — and then it generates a whole list in the lbdb format, which looks like this:

<mailaddress> TAB <realname> TAB <comment>

and where does that gorgeous little file go? straight to $HOME/.lbdb/nodelist, no cap. 🎀

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • $HOME/.lbdb/nodelist
  • /usr/libexec/lbdb/m_fido
