RAMANAGE(1)

📦 version 5.0.2+git20250321.41f65e2, in debian trixie, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet ramanage — it's a utility for argus file archive management. that's the whole vibe. it handles ur stuff. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ramanage [raoptions] -r filename

that's it. that's the shape of it. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ramanage is a utility that handles the common tasks that come with managing long-term storage of argus data files. like, the boring-but-important archival girlie stuff. it gives you three operations:

  • compress
  • upload
  • delete

compression is always gzip and it's built right into the command via libz. no extra steps, no drama. ✨

uploads are handled by libcurl, if available, and handled by an external curl executable otherwise. so either way, she's uploading. 💅

uploads use HTTPS for transport and can be authenticated with either BasicAuth or SPNEGO. and on Windows systems, SPNEGO will provide Kerberos V5 authentication if the system is part of a Domain (and has a host key). iykyk. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so real talk — ramanage ignores most client options. she's picky, she's got a type. but here's what she does care about:

  • -f — she pays attention to this one! it reads a configuration file. 📄
  • -r — this one is required, and it takes a single option only: one file. that's it. only one. don't be greedy. 🙈
⚠️ bestie listen: the configuration must enable at least one command, because all of them are off by default. no config enabling = no commands running. periodt. 💀

🎀 EXAMPLE INVOCATION 🎀

this example runs racount with a specific configuration file. slay.

% ramanage -f ./ramanage-alt-config.conf \
     -r argus.2012.02.13.17.20.00.out

look at that line continuation. so clean. so iconic. ✨
