💖 ola_patch — bestie's guide to OLA port bindings 💖

okay so real talk: this is ola_patch, a page from the General Commands Manual, and she's here to let you boss around your OLA port bindings. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ola_patch — control OLA port bindings. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ola_patch [ options ]

just the command and whatever options you're feeling today, gorgeous 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ola_patch is the girl you call when you need to control the port to universe mappings inside olad(1). that's literally her entire purpose and she's obsessed with it ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -d, --device <device> — the id of the device you wanna patch. tell her which one, bestie, she can't read minds 💭
• -h, --help — pops up the help message. your lil safety net when you forget everything (no judgement) 🙈
• -p, --port <port> — the id of the port you're patching. be specific 🎯
• -r, --unpatch — unpatch this port. it's giving undo, it's giving never mind, iconic 💀
• -i, --input — patch the input port instead. heads up: the default is output, so if you don't say this, she assumes output ⭐
• -u, --universe <universe-id> — the id of the universe you're patching to. and yes, the default is 0, so if you skip it you're going to universe zero whether you meant to or not 👑

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

💜 Patch output port 1 of device 4 to universe 3:

ola_patch -d 4 -p 1 -u 3

no -i, because we're on output vibes only ✨

🍓 Patch input port 2 of device 5 to universe 10:

ola_patch -d 5 -p 2 -i -u 10

see that -i? that's the input port flag doing her little main character moment 🎀
