💖 PDUDAEMON(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round 💅 this is pdudaemon, and yes, it's a User Command — section 1 of the manual, the section for the stuff you actually type into a shell. This page is the manual for pdudaemon version 0.0.8, and it's genuinely short, so no cap, we can get through this together in like one scroll. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

  • pdudaemon — manual page for pdudaemon 0.0.8

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The usage goes a little something like this, and yes, every flag here is real and every flag here matters:

usage: pdudaemon [-h] [--journal] [--logfile LOGFILE] [--loglevel {DEBUG,ERROR,INFO,WARN}] [--conf CONF] [--listener LISTENER] [--alias ALIAS | --hostname DRIVEHOSTNAME] [--drive] [--request DRIVEREQUEST] [--retries DRIVERETRIES] [--delay DRIVEDELAY] [--port DRIVEPORT]

That's it, that's the whole vibe check. Now let's break it down piece by piece because every one of these deserves its moment. 🫶

🎀 options 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you this help message and then exits. the "hello, what do I do" button, iconic behaviour. 👑
  • --conf CONF, -c CONF — your configuration file, and the default it points at is /etc/pdudaemon/pdudaemon.conf. so if you don't say anything, that's where it's looking. 🌸
  • --listener LISTENER — the PDUDaemon listener setting. that's what the page says, that's what I'm telling you. 💜
  • --alias ALIAS — takes an ALIAS. that's literally the whole entry, the original gave us zero elaboration and I refuse to make things up. 🙈
  • --hostname DRIVEHOSTNAME — takes a DRIVEHOSTNAME. same energy as above. note the | in the usage line, bestie: it's --alias ALIAS or --hostname DRIVEHOSTNAME, not both. 💅

🪵 logging 🪵

  • --journal, -j — logs to the journal. 📓
  • --logfile LOGFILE — the log file, and it defaults to /var/log/pdudaemon.log. ✨
  • --loglevel {DEBUG,ERROR,INFO,WARN} — the logging level, and those four are your only choices: DEBUG, ERROR, INFO, WARN. the default is INFO. ⭐

🎮 drive 🎮

  • --drive — no description on the original page, so no tea from me. 🫖
  • --request DRIVEREQUEST — takes a DRIVEREQUEST. 🍓
  • --retries DRIVERETRIES — takes DRIVERETRIES. 🧚
  • --delay DRIVEDELAY — takes a DRIVEDELAY. 🌈
  • --port DRIVEPORT — takes a DRIVEPORT. 💜
