✨ RIGTESTMCASTRX ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from Hamlib Utilities, and it's about rigtestmcastrx — say that three times fast, I dare you 💅. Section 1, utilities girlies, let's GO 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

rigtestmcastrx — a lil skeleton test program that catches data coming in from the multicast server 🦋

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

rigtestmcastrx

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no arguments, no flags, no nothing ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically? It's a simple test program 📻. Its one (1) job is testing how well you can receive data from the rigctltcp(1) multicast server. That's it. That's the girl's whole personality 🫶

Lowkey iconic of her to have such a narrow focus. Main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Not a single one. This program accepts no options. Zero. Zilch. Nada. She simply does not take requests 💀✨

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl the tea here is a little messy, so let's be real about it:

  • This doc is woefully incomplete. Like, embarrassingly so 😭
  • Various values are hard coded in the source — no cap, they're just... in there.
  • This is likely only a skeleton 🔩 to be used for further development. She's a work in progress, bestie, be nice to her 🥺
⚠️ fair warning: since stuff is hard coded and this is a skeleton, don't go expecting production-grade behaviour out of her. She's a starting point, not a finished masterpiece 💅
