💅 opkg-key — the manual, but make it cute

okay so real talk, bestie: this page lives in the opkg(1) manual, and what it actually covers is opkg-key, a tiny utility that manages opkg's list of trusted keys. And what's opkg? It's a lightweight package management system based on Ipkg. So basically it's the bouncer at the club door, checking IDs (keys) before letting packages in. Iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

opkg-key [OPTIONS...] sub-command [ARGUMENTS...]

so it's opkg-key, then maybe some options, then a sub-command, then whatever arguments that sub-command wants. the order matters, bestie, this is not a vibe-check-optional situation. 💅

🦋 SUB-COMMANDS 🦋

these are the three things you can actually do. pick one. that's the whole assignment.

  • add <file> — adds the key that's inside file. and yes, you can pass '-' to mean stdin, so you can pipe a key straight in like a lil key-delivery tube. 🫶
  • del <keyid> — removes the key with the ID keyid. be so careful, because that key is gone-gone. 🙈
  • list — lists out the trusted keys. main character energy: it just shows you who's allowed in. 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -o <root> — use root as the offline root directory. like, instead of the normal root, you're saying "hey, do all this over there instead." 🧚

that's it. one option. a minimalist queen. 🌸
