PROXY(1)

💅 PROXY(1) — the proxy girlies' manual

okay bestie, welcome to proxy, section 1 of the User Commands manuals. she's small, she's mighty, she tells you which proxy server you should be using to get to a network resource. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

proxy — display the proxy server that should be used to reach a given network resource 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

proxy

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no args, no drama. she just exists ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: proxy displays the proxy server that should be used to reach a given network resource. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. no cap 💅

under the hood, libproxy is a library that provides automatic proxy configuration management using different backends. so like… she's not out here guessing, she's got range 🌈

🫶 EXAMPLE 🫶

feeding her a URL and letting her cook:

echo http://www.example.com/ | proxy
  http://webcache:3128 direct://

see how she returned http://webcache:3128 and direct://? iconic behaviour, honestly. ate and left no crumbs 👑
