💖 man(1) — the Profanity XMPP client manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is a page from the Profanity XMPP client manual, and today's episode is about one specific command and it is so simple it's giving "why did I stress about this" energy. It's the <italic>man</italic>(1) page for the /reconnect command. Slay. Let's go. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

/reconnect — the Profanity /reconnect command. that's it, that's the name, no notes. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Two jobs, one command, main character energy fr fr:

  • set the reconnect attempt interval, aka how long to wait before trying again when the connection gets dropped 😭
  • or, lowkey, just yank the reconnect right now and make it happen immediately 🔥

basically: patience, or no patience. your call. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/reconnect <seconds>

/reconnect now

see? two moods. one takes a number, one takes the word now. iconic. ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • <seconds> — how many seconds to wait before attempting to reconnect. and bestie, listen: a value of 0 disables reconnect. like, fully off. no cap. 🙈
  • now — immediately trigger a reconnect. not "in a sec", not "give it a minute" — now. right this second. go. 🏃‍♀️💨
heads up babes: if you set <seconds> to 0, you're turning the whole reconnect thing off. that's a for-real detail, not a vibe. 🍓
