RIGCTLD-WSJTX(1)

💖 RIGCTLD-WSJTX 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the rigctld-wsjtx(1) page from the WSJT-X Manual — yes, the whole manual name is in the title, we're being official today 💅

✨ NAME ✨

rigctld-wsjtx — the Hamlib 4 rigctld server, but make it WSJT-X flavored 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rigctld-wsjtx [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it options, it does the thing. periodt ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: wsjtx ships with its very own version of the hamlib CAT control library. and lowkey? that library is virtually identical to the current release version of hamlib. like, twin energy. 👯

now. if you're a wsjtx user and you wanna use the hamlib network rig server rigctld to remotely control your transceiver, then you need to reach for this special version of rigctld — not the regular one. why? because this one has that modified hamlib code embedded right inside it. it's giving custom build. it's giving built different. it's giving exactly what you need. 🔥

ngl bestie, don't mix them up — the whole point of this binary is that the modified hamlib is baked in. that's the assignment. 💖
